Why does my connection seem throttled at times?

I have an unlimited data plan. I've noticed that it is hard to get a 3g/4gLTE connection after a period of using my 3g or 4gLTE connection. Is there a way to stop the annoying throttling?
Thanks!

Verizon does not throttle 4G LTE due to their spectrum agreement.
However 3G is a whole different matter. Most if not all cellular providers will throttle down when capacity is at a huge demand. This is done so all can obtain data. But Verizon brings it back up to speed where Sprint & AT&T do not until your next cycle.
T-Mobile I am sure does the same, except if you go over your allotment with them you keep on getting data but slower with no overages charges.
Good Luck
They appealed that decision in court and won.  They do throttle, despite claiming on their website that they do not.  Call *611 and ask for yourself; they won't deny it.  It's plainly obvious.  My speeds max out at 200kbps once the throttling hits.  That's kilobits, mind you.  It's worse than a DSL connection.  It's about 25KBps.

    Hi there,
    There may be a conflict between the network settings and your devices. I would recommend taking a look at the article below and comparing that to your routers current settings.

  • Why does my iPhoto seem to get "stuck" a lot of times to the point where I have to force quit it and how do I fix it?

    Why does my iphoto seem to get "stuck" a lot of the times when I try to exit it to the point where I have to "force quit" it and how do I fix the problem that causes it?

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    does this only happen when you try to quit iPhoto?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

  • Why does my phone get hot at time's?

    It doesn't happen every day, put there are times my phone gets hot even when I'm not using it then the battery drains fast and I have to charge it again.  It's not the battery area that gets hot.

    There is no damage to my phone. This is the second Samsung Galaxy S5 that I have received.  The first one did the same thing, then went dead.  I only charge my phone at night when I go to bed and unplug it in the morning.  When it does get hot, for some unknown reason, I have to charge it again during the day just to have cell phone access.  It doesn't happen on a daily basis.  It's just concerning as to why the Samsung Galaxy S5 is doing this.  Teffanie M Stark

    created by Verizon Wireless Customer Support in Android - View the full discussion                  I know this is not a good experience with your device starky69. Is there any damage to the device? How long have you had the phone? Which phone do you own? Do you keep the phone on the charger at all times when its not being used?

  • Why does PDF file size increase each time I "save" tagging tasks?

    Why does PDF file size increase each time I "save" tagging tasks?
    Given:
    1) I'm running Acrobat Pro 11.0.07 (this is most current version)
    2) My file size starts at 750mb and ends up 15mb when finished tagging.
    3) Only certain documents experience this increase, i.e., no visible pattern of document characteristics
    4) PDF's are not full of images...in fact, mostly <H1> <H2> <H3> <P> <Figure> alt text, ect.
    5) Occurs with text PDF's and/or fillable forms (again, does not happen to all documents...only some)
    6) File increase occurs incrementally as tagging tasks are performed; i.e., each new save increases file size a few megabytes.
    7) Occurs whether I "save" or "save as"
    8) Difficult to optimize these files without corruption
    9) I'm running Mac OS 10.9.4 (this is most current version)

    Thank you so much for responding! I've been experimenting with the SAVE AS vs. SAVE for the past few days...and you are correct. It's funny because I've been tagging files for 2 years and never noticed this. Probably b/c I use both methods depending on the tagging tasks...some are more complicated than others and should not be overwritten. In those cases I SAVE AS new file.
    I love this forum...thank you again!

  • Why does the aol desktop crash every time I try to use it

    Why does the aol desktop crash every time I try to use it and how can I fix the problem.

    I am having exactly the same problem with my iPhone 4 (running 6.0.1 (10A523)). I have rebooted several times since this started occurring but it doesn't change the behavior. It was also reporting a "storage almost full" error quite often when I still have 1GB - 3GB of free space. As a troubleshooting exercise I removed all my music so there is now 20.1GB free. The storage warning no longer appears but the same issue still persists with reminders. Help, please!

    Hey why does some songs seem to be louder then others? This is mostly noticeable between downloaded vs Imported cds..  Or is it my imagination?

    It isn't your imagination, you'll find that older recordings have lower gain and will sound softer. You can use sound check to somewhat balance this out if you want.
