I couldn't help myself.

The most I've EVER used was 150gb ONE time when I was in the field for 30 days and had nothing to do but... well nothing... just play games and watch netflix.

Welcome to DF, Hilmkuhl! With your 91gb of data, did you notice your data speed slowing down anytime? If not, that is encouraging.

I want to say it's "slower" like i have 22Mbpd down and 13Mbps up on my Speedtest but i have nothing before i went over 22gb. It's still usable i can download a full album in under a few minutes from Apple Music/Spotify and longer youtube videos like 45min+ are usually 5 to 10 minutes at 480p. In the end it is way more usable than being throttled as that was completely unusable.

How do you manage that? And 22/13 is slow? I barely get 8/1.

You must be near me in Fairview Park. Closer to the airport I get awesome speeds.
Yes, I am near Clague and Westwood. They seem to have the highways covered pretty well, but once you get away from the highway, service drops off. I know Westlake and North Olmsted weren't allowing anymore towers to be built, so it is what it is.

You're about a mile away from me . I'm off clague and lorain. We don't really have any room for more towers though. Center of FP has good service. I've tested it from East Coast Custard a few times too. :) They could activate AWS to help though but I doubt we'll see anything.

Here's my most recent test on Seattle...

I'm lucky to get 1x at my. Place, move not even half a block and perfect 4g

I've been trying to get Verizon to give me a free range extender

Good service here

Now at my place, no service

What's really crazy is there aren't any hills, there aren't any walls... The service just disappears... Tmobile has good coverage though.
