I know personally T-Mobile has unlimited

The only throttling that I noticed was past the 45gb limit I got a warning hat if I exceeded 50gbsy speed would be downgraded to 128kbs

I'm almost positive all carriers have this. If data was truely unlimited without throttling then the carrier couldn't handle it. Try purchasing a hotspot from your carrier that is on a separate plan for separate data.

TetherMe plus a VPN works on Verizon iOS. Pdanet+ for newer Androids

I’d love for this to be real, and there may be a way, but I’m not entirely sure it’s possible. But... I’d love to be wrong.

I have unlimited. I have they’re highest plan Get More unlimited. At 75gb they throttle the hell out of it. They say so in their terms. Told the same thing when I called to complain. Besides their 100gb business plan. They don’t offer anything else. I’m on the highest plan their is.

I’m in Pennsylvania. They give you 75 gb after that it’s crazy slow.

I called in to try and get more data plan options. They were happy to bump me up to 100gb plan for the great price of 800 dollars a month ������

Same thing happened to me. We get 199GB of priority data so I'm confused as to why I'm throttled severely....I have 147GB left....

Which plan?

Yea but how many gigs did you use total this month?

Download maps on WiFi, set them to keep up to date.

My email is usually good as it checks in the background.

But yeah, they might as well say they cut you off, not throttle...

What plan are you using? All plans except unlimited data one will be drastically slowed once you run out the data.

You can go to next level plan like now and pay the prorated difference.

When I run out of data I can still check my email pretty easily. I can even play YouTube videos but only with the screen off. Reddit or basically any web browsing is a no-go.

You get what you pay for kinda deal with Mint. I get hammered by deprioritation almost everywhere I travel. Full bars but shit connection speed. Been like this for 7 years now. Too stubborn to leave lmao.

How did you determine that you are being throttled ?

It’s a new feature actually. They don’t want you to use up all the data that you paid for so they are throttling videos (but sometimes end up throttling other applications too)

You can go into the web dashboard and disable it. They said it will probably become a paid feature.

Welcome to the party 1 percenter!

If you're on GSM, it could just be that your data is being deprioritized. GSM data is prioritized for every plan on US mobile and there's nothing that can be done about it. Regardless, if this is about video streaming, "Data Waster Mode" is supposed to combat this. But I believe they have been throttling for a long time and only just increased the throttling rather than it being a new addition.

VPN can disguise the traffic but not the amount of data. Also likely to throttle speeds to some degree compared to native connection.

Solution is a plan that does not throttle at 50GB or to use less than 50GB

Thats why I wanted to know, because there is no uncapped plan on Verizon. Thanks though.

Portable pocket wifi

dlink Dwr u2000, 5g pocket wifi with better CA sa 4g

Zte Mu5120/5002, may rj45 port pero medyo may kamahalan

Zte f50g, medyo need mo i modify since nag throttle pag nag init

Personally what I figured is that most of these "unli" plans from SMART actually have throttling.

(Through their "fair use policy" - which to me, can easily be problematic that they advertise "unli" and then go, BuT thE fAiR uSe pOliCy)

Anyway, the cheaper the unli promo, the more likely and severe the throttling.

You can try some workarounds, like using a VPN.

If you want little to no throttling though, consider getting either the 30 day 999 or 1299 promo - depending on whether you'll use the sim in a phone or in a router

Edit: a few words

Yan din pansin ko sa Smart lately. Nagsubscribe ako ng one day unli. Nung una consistent na 200 Mbps ang download speed. After siguro naka-30GB ako ng data usage, biglang bumagal to around 5 Mbps na lang, with high latency pa. In short, halos di na magamit.

Limited/Metered data plans are not throttled.

It's ironic because I chose smart wifi because they have the best speed and best signal in my area. Now that they're throttling their own speed, I no longer have any reason to stay with smart.

Lahat naman ng Unli data may speed cap unless you are using consumable data, kaya yung mga nagsasabing True Unlimited yung sa smart is either agent or di talaga gumagamit ng smart data.

The challenge is whenever they start out as a means of attracting customers, they don't apply FUP's. but once they have captured the market, they impose it. And for the many that don't read the fine print, they barely notice or even know what FUP is and how it will affect them. As per now I've tried and tested Canal Box and it works great. Yes, you can blast away your internet regardless of how you use.

And if it doesn't work out for you, you can share your insight with us.

It depends on the option you have chosen. I have realised that in Uganda people prefer the things that gives them hard time. Okitegera? You find someone on an outdoor trying to do reselling, another one is on zuku but relies heavily on streaming, another pays 60mbps at like 350k but has about 80 PCs, the other will pay for fibre but forget the router alone can't support the maximum level of work he wants!!

Then another person will heap on themselves dedicated and suffer since they thought private means the best.

And so many examples people using the wrong package and option for different usage. Now this makes the providers play along because business has to be in place regardless.

I say this because I work in Networking Solutions and it's crazy how people suffer.

What you need zuku 10mbps and 55+ channels if your main concern is gaming and streaming?

What you need 3mbps dedicated for if you are going to do social media marketing?

Why would you buy 60mbps @130k and expect it to serve a mall or the whole apartment?

TBH our providers do some good work. It's the market that is totally zigzag.

This is the stuff UCC should be looking into. UG does not have effective consumer protection

I use Zuku. It's way more expensive than the other telecoms. But I've never had a datacap. And I'm a power user that transfers lots of data. (About 60GB a day sometimes) And whenever my internet speed slows down, one phone call puts things back in order.

The downside is I pay about twice what other people pay for 60Mbps to get 40Mbps!!!

By the way, NITA uganda is the best if your pocket is handsome. 😁Give them a try baba
