Throttled...solved!!!!
- Thread starter opencipher
- Start date
Again we get screwed, AT&T forgets that WE PAY THE BILL, So shouldn't we tell them what WE want?
I want unlimited data to be truly unlimited, no throttles of any kind, but I guess I could be alone in this request

It never went away.
If you are on LTE you get 5 gig of unthrottled data. After 5 you get the hammer.
If you are on a non LTE you get 3 gigs of unthrottled data. After you get throttled.
They changed it to this after being sued by this guy and won the case.

i have an unlimited lte data plan.
today while going thru kansas city i pull a speed test, immidatelly noticed i was throttled, i know i had not even reached 3GB of usage
so i rang cs and the rep. told me "it looks like you are in the top 5% for that area, and it doesn't matter if you are on an unlimited lte data plan"
Unlimited LTE is actually 5GB of LTE. AT&T made that announcement months ago.

8Wow...just got hit with the Throttle. I've only used 6 gigs (had iphone before) this billing cycle and my brand new LTE Skyrocket (which was getting around 58mbps in Tyson's Corner) is now getting about 100kbps. This is some straight BS. My contract is only a week old, so thinking of returning this phone and switching. Whats the point of having unlimited if you can't use it.
Edit:
This is what has been working for me to "bypass" the throttle. It at least gets me HSPA+ speeds.
I'm using the Rocketeer ROM and I changed the APN and also forced the Network Mode to GSM/HSPA (Auto Mode)
The APN settings are:
Name: HSPA+ ATT
APN: Phone
APN Type: Internet
All other settings are default. I also am NOT on 2.3.6 and noticed when I updated the APN didn't work anymore, so I went back.
I also have the WAP Cingular built and have working MMS.
Name: ATT WAP
APN: wap.cingular
proxy: wireless.cingular.com
mms proxy: wireless.cingular.com
mms port: 80
mcc: 310
mnc: 410
apn type: mms22I'm not using 20 gigs a month. I did 18GB once out of anger like everyone else did by trying to push up the 5%, but my normal usage is around 4-6GB. That's cutting it real close. I don't want to be near the end of a billing cycle and then worry about usage and not watch that one hockey game or not watch a couple youtube cliips or stream some songs because I might be worried of getting to the limit. You guys sound like ATT reps, being all excited by this 5GB like all of a sudden ATT is our friend. I'm shocked it was that easy to get people from being pissed off to being very content with the same company. There should be more mad people. Sure, I'll admit I'm glad it's a small baby step in the right direction, but there's a long way to go to make long time loyal customers happy.
Does anyone know what exactly happens once the LTE user hits 5GB? Is it back to EDGE for the remainder of the cycle, or is there slightly higher throttle speeds as some people have claimed?2
I asked to speak to a manager after I was getting nowhere with the cr that answer first, I asked if they could please review my past data usage, and the manager agreed, after about a 45 minute wait, he came back and said that he didn't notice anything out of the ordinary and he was gonna make a note to my account advising throttle on or after 25GB to 35GB, I told him that I thanked him for taking the time to actually look at my account, I reminded him that I had been with AT&T since 1997(when they were at&t wireless) and that I was a happy costumer, 'till that ridiculous speed limit..
So long story short, going on 26GB and still no throttle

Could you please just shut the F up. We got your point already. I'm trying to weed through these threads for a solution and all I'm reading is your numerous HIGHLY SIMILAR answers.
Thank you points if people stop repeating themselves.
