How do you know if you're being throttled on Verizon on an unlimited data plan?

I am already at 5GB with my new GN3 because of video streaming.

Is there any way to censor/block throttling?

Doubt they throttle at all, my friend from here uses 100+ gb of data month, never said he's been throttled.

If I remember correctly... The FCC slapped Verizon with a $1M fine a while back for trying to charge limited users for tethering and trying to throttle speeds on their network. Because of the spectrum they use for LTE it isn't allowed by federal law and they signed agreements to that fact.

I do about 60 gb a month and have not been throttled.

This is awesome news. I won't hold back my streaming now.

The sharing of your GB usage really helps.

If you have to ask this question, they're throttling you. :D

Only way to really know is to do speed tests randomly throughout the month to see what kind of speed you're getting.

    I average between 17 and 19GB per month on unlimited (without tethering) and have never noticed a slow down due to high usage.
