About LinkBacksI have a sneaky suspicion that Verizon throttles data, especially on Unlimited plans. I know you guys are in the know and since this can be somewhat anonymous Id really like to know the crappy things carriers do that most people wouldn't know.
Anyone else have suspicions about their carriers?

09-16-2012 03:29 PMVerizon used to throttle unlimited 3g users, no word about 4g users.

09-16-2012 03:30 PMI've heard 3G unlimited gets throttled, but 4G LTE does not.

09-16-2012 03:33 PMThis is correct. I think Verizon throttles anyone using 3G that has exceeded 2 GB. Happened to me every month once I hit 2 GB. Don't have to worry now that I have 4G in my area.

09-16-2012 05:35 PMWhy would they throttle 3g but not 4g? How would they know how much data you consumed on 4g compared to 3g, especially beings that most people are constantly going back and forth between the two?

09-16-2012 05:35 PMThat should be (if its not already) Illegal. I know the FCC is looking into the networks speeds to see how far off the mark they are for what they advertise

09-16-2012 06:00 PMThis was about a year ago before 4g devices were still coming out. I believe 3g is still throttled, but with 4g becoming the norm I wouldn't be surprised if they throttled 4g users. As for knowing whether it's a 3g/4g device, that's easy, all they have to do is look under your account and see which phone you have. I think they just throttle at 2gb once they saw it was a 3g phone, but if it's a 4g phone, no throttle. Originally Posted by BaSHa

09-16-2012 08:34 PMFrom what I've heard, Verizon will throttle data at 2Gb if you're in an area with heavy cell tower traffic, but you move away from the heavy traffic, your data isn't throttled anymore. E.g. full speed at home but when you're at work in downtown your speed is throttled.

09-16-2012 11:20 PMVerizon can't throttle 4G because of an agreement with the FCC. VZ had to say they would not throttle 4G users if he FCC allowed them to get the spectrum they needed. Originally Posted by BaSHa
