Hi everyone,
Since Tuesday of this week, I have been experiencing a steep drop in data speeds. I have typically been able to get between 60-80 Mbps reliably. Over the past few days, my download speed is topping out at around 5 Mbps, and that’s right after a modem reboot. Eventually it drops to around 0.6 Mbps. Nothing has changed with the modem placement, no new devices on my network. It’s just suddenly very very slow. Multiple reboots, unplugging and plugging back in, all the usual suspects don’t work. I have the original Nokia modem if that makes a difference, but it hasn’t had any trouble for a long time. Here’s my signal info (I don’t check this much, so I don’t know if any of this is bad or good - the bars are the same as usual):
I read recently that T-Mobile is going to start throttling heavy users. I checked my usage and I used about 735 GB of data in January. Is that enough to get me throttled? So far in February, I’m at 306 GB used. I’m not sure what the cutoff for “too much” data is, or what period of time is measured when deciding to throttle or not. I work from home, so I need to figure out if I use too much data to stay with T-Mobile. If anyone knows what the throttling threshold is, I’d appreciate it!
