Throttled on LG Nitro?

---

Just wondering if anyone has gotten throttled, and if you've been able to get around it by changing apn... (Im deathly afraid of getting throttled, but if I just get bumped down to HSPA+ its not a big deal)

My understanding is that AT&T doesn't throttle, they just keep adding 1gb to your usage for $10 everytime you go over.

So if you're on their 2gb plan and use 10gb in a month, that's 8gb over your plan at $10 per gig = $80 extra for that month.

...Personally, I'd rather be throttled.

For those that are still on the Unlimited Data plan (myself) you get throttled. I believe their rule is after 5GB of usage in a month you are reduced to EDGE speeds.

I'm on an unlimited plan and I got throttled after using only 2GBs. It was a weird situation though, and changing the APN got me back to HSPA+ speeds but no LTE. I couldn't get Visual Voicemail to work either and had to check it the old-fashioned way but others on the forum have switched APNs and reported no issues with Visual Voicemail.

I'm going to have to show my buddy with the Skyrocket how to add the HSPA+ APN then. That's one trick I've learned so far. He got throttled last month cause he's constantly using LTE.

Were you using LTE data prior to getting throttled?

In my experience ATT throttle starts 15th to the end of each month, at least in the peak hours.

I thought it was based on your billing cycle and your usage. Or are you saying it's across the board for all users?

AT&T says if you are in the top 5% of data users then you are subject to throttling once you hit the threshold of that top 5% percent. I think it's crap, some say it's justified in order to keep the network up to par.

I was using HSPA+ when I was throttled.

On my galaxy s2 I achicved 8gb one.month with no throttling
