Yeah they can slow you down... and if you were tethering then that makes it even worst on you! Especially if it's not on your plan.. they'll slow you down to barely nothing under 1 mb!
So after changing to the other Apn,, and after toggle airplane mode.
Note: stay on airplane mode for a few minutes b4 switching it back on. That way the phone will reset to the new one!?
Still no change??

Wow mine usually would go back up to like at least standard dsl speed. Which is about 3-5mb sec. You must be on that 5% high usage list. I was on it b4 when I was using a lot of gigs 8-12 gigs mo. From downloading Rom's while on the go!!
