Hey all simple question to see if this has happened to anyone else. A couple of days ago I got the dreaded you are now throttled text. However, my data speed hasn't changed one lil bit. I haven't implemented any throttle mods or anything like that. Has anybody else ever experienced this?
Yeah, quite a few people experience that. The throttle seems to be hit or miss. If you read the defunct throttle fix thread, you'll see a lot of folks don't get throttled at all even though they get the text. I get throttled at exactly 5gb now, text or not. I'm jealous of you.

Or Denver I get the same speeds if not a lil faster

I think some major cities have different ways of throttling because when I'm throttled I'm at 5 or 6 down and 1 up and sometimes it doesn't happen

There is defiantly a 1 Gb cap and I went through the Mytouch 3G, Mytouch slide and Mytouch4G while with them and always had problems with mms messages it's like if the picture size was to big it was a problem receiving pictures.
Never heard of simple mobile is it like tmobile ?
I had a mytouch4g. I loved the phone but hated the service from T-Mobile. I would get no bars of 3g in my home. I couldn't browse the web or download apps without getting on my wifi. Calls were dropped all the time. It would also take hours to send and receive pictures. I got fed up and got a phone with Verizon and I'm loving the reception.

It's a MVNO using T-Mobile's network.
I been with simple mobile for about 6months now and there is no data cap regardless of what some people believe.
But if you use up too much bandwidth with apps like Netflix they will throttle you back to 2g .
I'm always streaming music or on the net or on YouTube and I haven had any issue with that.just don't use Netflix or any app similar or any bittorrent or tethering and you will be fine.

There speeds are the same as T-mobile but 1 thing I totally forgot if you use data to fast they will throttle you instantly 1 month I was on a flashing spree and instead of restoring my apps on wifi I was doing it on the network. They throttled me with a little over 1Gb of use they figured I was using my phone as a Hot spot and would not unthrottle me after I called to complain and tell them I was leaving.

Noticed a slight improvement in some areas with this PRL. But nothing to make me throw a party.
Man if sprint turned their 4g towers to 3g and. What not i would never complain again all i can say is i get poor service in my area and it sucks cuz i gotta surf wifi all over town (sad face)

I get Hellua strong 3G almost anywhere around town. It's when I start going up North that it goes downhill. Farther North you go, Crappier it gets.
At work I get a better 4G signal than 3G. At home it's the other way around.

In the same boat, 4G at work and 3G at home; guess where I get better battery life?

Is it just me or 3G speed is better today?
I live in LA area and right now, it's Friday evening and I am getting like 1.4mbps down in my house.
This never happened before.
I noticed this when I was streaming radio station driving back home and haven't got any lag or stutter on the spot I usually get.
It feels like a lot of people are leaving Sprint with the launch of iPhone 5.
Here is the screenshot. I had 3g and 4g tested before around 17th.

It seems to be typical of modern society to assume that every problem is someone's fault, but every improvement is a fluke for which no one deserves any credit

Depends on your service provider. Typically, the more you pay the faster the speed.
The advice is free....the bandwidth, not so much
