Data throttleing

[bignaz]

So guys how bad is it? I guess i'll be connected to there "LTE+" tower at my house and i have some questions about throttling.

Average use is around 100gigs a month. So from my understanding after talking to a rep is this.

Account is not throttled but just the phone at that time based on.

if it is connected to a lte+ or not.
data usage over X amount
how busy the tower is at that time.

From my understanding LTE+ will never be throttled. They did not say anything about normal LTE and what not so i assume that will be. But at work and at my home i have a LTE+ tower here so thats good.

So have you guys on the unlimited plan seen throttling? If so or not what kind of use are you doing? What are you speeds? How much do they slow down the data? IF someone could lay this all out it would be great.

I Have NEVER been throttled. Unless you live like in NY, Cali or another huge city/state, very unlikely u will get throttled for an overwhelmed tower.

How are they on tethering? Using the native nexus 6p's tether?

OP just keep in mind -- every area is different. Twitch may never see it but depending where you live and the amount of traffic you may.

Are you trying to use it as your home internet? Tethering usually isn't included in the unlimited plan with Sprint except like 3 GB or something IIRC.

What about using tether and a VPN?
