LOLZ...how did you manage that? I'm a long-time customer so I'm hoping that I have a true "unlimited" plan that I paid for. I think the limits only apply to recently signed up customers.
<fingers crossed>

At least you take it lightly
Honestly, 5GB is a lot and if you are using your phones tethering to run your home internet well gotta put that one on you...haha. How many movies did you stream and were they in HD? =)
Throttling always stinks though...I am fairly new to TMO but is there a way to pay more to get it turned back on? Luckily I am on a huge business plan so we don't have throttling.

he wasnt asking for that. he wants to know how much data he has used for the month. thats the my account app. you mistaken it for benchmarking the network speed

i upgraded to the 10gb cap because I burn through data like no tomorrow.
before I updated my plan I couldnt check my data use but they did throttle me.
many times before I had ran xbox live and world of warcraft through my phone and never got throttled. So I think they are watching closer!

How much for the 10 GB cap?

I hit the 5gb soft cap of the old "unlimited plan" about 6 months ago. I stream slacker radio from my desk almost all day every day. I hit it 2 days prior to my cycle so it was ok I think that month i hit 5.5gb's lol

i went over my 5gb data last month cause my internet went out and i tethered to my desktop. i did it for about 5 days (mostly nights when i am at the desktop) streaming youtubes and show series. my bill cycle was ending so i didnt care if i get capped but it really sucks because its god awfully slow..

[Q] What's the most data you've used in one billing cycle?

What's the most data you've used in a cycle, and has anyone heard a peep from Verizon? My cycle starts on the 26th and I just cross the 10GB mark. Just curious, and thanks for your response.
Thanks for the reply, I'm wondering if at some point high usage will raise an eyebrow from Verizon. I mean, I'll probably break 15GB this month.
I've never gone over 1GB lol. I'm almost always around Wi-Fi. Most its been was like maybe 600MB.

Far from my maximum, but I'd say it's about average. When I'm not downloading ROM's over 3G.

18 gigs? See, now that's what I'm talking about. I'll get close to that this month. Once we get internet set up I won't use so much, or maybe I'll just get an LTE phone and run everthing off that.
Wow I feel so much better now Thanks! Wifi at my house is so flaky I've started tethering my phone, but I stopped since I was worried about using too much data. I'm only at about 4 gb with a week and a half left on my billing cycle. Guess I don't have to worry
At school, I'm always on 3g, because the wifi is flaky. So I usually use 3 gbs. At home, I'll stay on wifi and use about a gig for when I'm out and about.

Verizon has openly stated that they (will/have already) cap the top 5% of data users. You *might* fall into that category or maybe will soon.
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2379296,00.asp
edit:
oops I mean throttle, not cap
Also it looks they will just be putting your data on lower priority. So if there's not too much 3G data demand in your area, you'll stream just as quickly.

I rarely go over 500MB, but I usually only read news on 3G. I use wi-fi every chance I get, too, though.
Well I'm well over 20 gigs and my cycle ends on the 26th, I'll let y'all know how it turns out. Do you realize if I was on the tiered plan that's supposed to be implemented on July 7th that'd be over $200 worth of data? That's rediculous...
I'm looking at 2.4GB and i'm only in day 3 of my cycle lol
Gotta love Netflix at work
The highest I believe I've gone is ~800-900MB. I think I average ~500MB per month. I'm around wifi a lot and I frequently turn my data off when I'm not using my phone.

I know, I'm just using that as an example. The pricing is ridiculous. I'm actually giving my wife the Inc and getting a Thunderbolt so we'll have two grandfathered unlimited plans. And we have LTE here, wonder how much data I'll use then.
Sent from my Optimized Shift using XDA Premium App
I was around 16GB last month. I've only had a data plan for a few months now...the Dinc being my first smartphone. I'll be honest, I'm on a budget and I always get good 3G in my apartment (usually reach around 1Mbps, which is acceptable to me), so I dropped my $40/mo AT&T DSL in favor of using my phone as my main internet via tethering, and I haven't looked back. So glad I'm grandfathered with my unlimited data, but I'm totally prepared if my plans fall through and I have to go back to DSL...I figure it's just a matter of time.

Sprint getting ready to remove unlimited?

I upgraded my line to the SGS3 yesterday and now I'm noticing that my usage says certain usage out of 4 GB. Not sure what's going on but it appears like Sprint may be removing the unlimited data feature soon? They've been changing a lot of things on their website lately.
Anyways, Overstew sent me this picture of his usage.

Very interesting. Can you hop on their support chat and ask why you're showing a 4GB data limit? Mine is still showing unlimited, but I have not made any account changes or upgrades since 9/2011.
Unlimited Data is practically the only thing keeping me on Sprint. Hell, even T-Mobile is better...
Just noticed that's my screenshot lol.
I'll chat with them and see but I don't really see myself getting an accurate answer from Sprint reps.

Maybe it's just a 4GB limit per day.
It might have been a bug with the 1 second Leap Second that happened at the end of last month. Just a guess since the billing cycle for the 4GB above is from 4/1 to 4/1.
For more information on it, click here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_second
It's a website bug, I've had customers come in before showing the same thing.
Good luck trying to get anywhere near 4gigs on 3g

They'll eventually dump unlimited, it's just a matter of time. I'll be switching to Verizon that same day.

To tell you the truth I wouldn't mind if they did something like this. 4GB a day but still have unlimited data so u can use like 120GB in one month or maybe like 3GB or something. This will stop ppl that use wireless tether for free and download torrents all day and hog up all that bandwidth. Lol

a packet is a packet, doesn't matter if it comes from a phone, a computer, or a leap frog toy that your 2 year old son wiped his boogers on. anyone with a clue would know you can torrent on your phone too. did you also forget that some people have done away with cable and simply stream netflix and hulu via HDMI from their phones to their TVs? what about some of the new games that require hundreds of MB of additional data to be downloaded to your sdcard before you can even play it? should they get charged tethering fees for not tethering even though they're using the same amount of data as someone who is?

Cellular data was never meant to be a replacement for your home internet connection.
If you're going to stream Netflix or Hulu to your TV from your PHONE connection, then yes, I think you should get charged for that.

Extremely laggy 3G

Hi all,
I'm running Aero's 7-12 CM9 / 10.5 BFS, and have noticed extremely laggy 3G.
Not laggy in the traditional sense though. It's when I open a program that needs to access the internet, it takes 10+ seconds to pull anything down.
Lets say I open Tapatalk. When I click a forum, it will take 10 seconds just to "connect" to forum - to download any data at all.
Same thing in a browser, Opera Mini for example. The first time I open it up, I'll do a google search, and it will be 10+ seconds before it appears any sort of data has been sent. Then I switch over to Reddit News, open my front page, and it's 10+ seconds before anything appears at all. Once it appears, it's fine and fast.
On Wifi no problems at all. But on 3G, each new program I open that uses the internet will take 10+ seconds to connect, then after that it's responsive and fine.
Has anyone else run into this issue at all? I've tried the V6 / 3G supercharger and it seems to have no effect. I don't remember having this problem before, nor do I recall when it started happening.
I'm guessing a clean wipe / reinstall would fix issues, but am curious to see if there are any other solutions out there.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Best regards,
-Dirk
Ever since I reformatted my sd card my 3g has been a lot faster. Like it's actually usable now and I don't have to get on wifi as much as I can.
Did you just format to fat32 and restore what you previously had on it (i.e. music, pics, etc.)?
fat32 and 64k and I just copied back music and pix. But after that I was even tethering and getting 2 mbps so who knows.
Thanks for cursing me Dirk. My 3g has been dog slow all day now.

I wasn't serious either. But we all know that if HTC tries to fix the 3G, Apple will be all over their butts. That's what happened with the One X anyways.
Its all a ridiculous mess really when you think about it. It's not like HTC started the litigation period anyways.
In the end, we the consumers will always lose.

Yep that's probably apple's next marketing slogan "with iPhone you know it will be available when you want it *fine print* because its the only one we didn't have banned." Honestly I have nothing against the iPhone itself other than the tiny screen, but Apple's business practice is down right pathetic. I would rather wipe my you know what with my money than give a dime to that scumbag, elitist, "your phone is selling so you must have copied us, quick lets buy the patent so we can say that we came up with the idea" company.

I have tried other roms, but not recently (been on CM9 for a while now). I suppose in the interest of troubleshooting I should load up another rom just to make sure the issue is confined to my current CM9 installation.

Post your NOTE 3 data usage

How much unlimited data are we using with our N900T's? Lets post our usage for fun and see who uses the most. Describe what you do. Screen shots are nice.
I think my last billing cycle was about 20 gb?
What ROM do you suggest? I just rooted my phone a couple weeks ago. Looking for some good suggestions.
I was thinking about darthstalker or jedi... they seem to be pretty good.

I've only had my Note3 for 2 weeks, and haven't actually got to use it as much as I'd like yet, but, in the last 2 weeks I've used:
1.58G of 4G: Top 5 usage apps: Google Play, Google Music, Dropsync, Chrome, Speedtest
18.26GB of WiFi (loving my new WiFi AC): Top 5 apps: ES File Explorer, Google Music, "CloudAgent", Google Play, Plex
Pretty sure the "CloudAgent" is Samsung's thing that syncs dropbox photos to the gallery. That was a waste of 2GB, IMO.
So, by my next billing cycle I should've used about 3GB out 5GB 4G, and maybe 40GB of WiFi.
Not too bad, but not too hoggy either.

Yeah, the only way I could eat up that much data is if I streamed way more video (plex, netflix, or directly from my NAS via VPN). I'm usually near WiFi when I want to stream though.

Yeah if you have WiFi you are set. They do charge a lot for the unlimited data. I have unlimited but I also have a strong wifi connection at home, where I spend a good amount of my day other than being at work. It works out nicely. I just like the unlimited data just in case. Plus the give you the tethering which I also use quite a bit at work. :good:
You are stock rooted? Have you tried any other ROMs?
What is VPN?

Yeah if you have WiFi you are set. They do charge a lot for the unlimited data. I have unlimited but I also have a strong wifi connection at home, where I spend a good amount of my day other than being at work. It works out nicely. I just like the unlimited data just in case. Plus the give you the tethering which I also use quite a bit at work. :good:

Yeah that's true. It's just that money is kind of tight right now so it's a big expense for me. I don't make a whole lot of money anymore and I can barely pay for my food stamps. My disability check is what's keepin' my wife and I surviving right now. Just hard times :/

I think my last billing cycle was about 20 gb?
What ROM do you suggest? I just rooted my phone a couple weeks ago. Looking for some good suggestions.
I was thinking about darthstalker or jedi... they seem to be pretty good.

wicked?? where is that? what kind of things are changed in it? a buddy of mine flashed my galaxy epic for me a while back and mentioned something about a build file or something like that and changed a bunch of stuff in it. does this one have that? I really liked the device more after that it seemed faster. and thanks for the suggestion!!!!! i would thank your comment but it said i had a limit so im sorry there. ill get it tomorrow :good:
i am on the unlimited talk/text/data which is running me like 80 a month
to do the prepaid you have to pay off the whole phone right? i have jump and all that too
Most was last month = 10 gigs
I need to find a good ftp program and it will most likely increase
My highest was over 80gigs, Most due to tethering, Netflix & Torrents
60gigs ... Torrents and netflix ...

Kind of hard for me to use 1mb of data when my whole neighborhood is blanketed with GSM (EDGE).
I'm at 13GB for the month. Billing cycle ends tomorrow. I'll probably use less from now on because I was having trouble staying connected to my Dlink 655 WiFi router at home. Changed a couple of settings on the router and all is good now

Tmobile throttle unlimited data hogs starting August 17th

http://www.engadget.com/2014/08/13/t-mobile-cracks-down-on-data-abusers/
Seems like it won't affect people using a vpn, since it's all routed through 1 ip and it doesn't seem like they are determining this by how much, but if they detect you using torrent apps and things like that. Still alot of the changes T-Mobile are making lately seem to be anti consumer, ie Jump not being every 6 months anymore, trying to do away with corporate plans before the backlash, raising prices on plans, and now this. It's making me want to jump to prepaid honestly.
Tmobiles throttle is ridiculous too. Im talking slower then 1x. Ive been throttled 3 times now in the past year and the max download speed for all 3 times was .15mbps and yes you read that correctly and I typed it correctly. POINT ONE FIVE Mbps for download and thats on LTE and HSPA

Seriously if they start doing this, I'll just go on straight talk for $45 a month with 3gb of data or Cricket.

My bad guise.
T-Mobile will waste tons of money and resources trying to do this. They're already a distant number 3 carrier...just when demonoid comes back torrents are once again on the radar.

it says "they could have their data speeds reduced for the remainder of their billing cycle" not that they WILL
I get throttled pretty much every month. And it sucks especially at super slow speeds.

I've only gotten 4G around town the past few days where before I had full LTE. Seems legit.

well I called last month and they bumped me up for free as a courtesy. But 3gbs is not enuff especially when youre on the road and alot of free time :-/
And throttled again til September 3rd.
Went to xda.com took 3 minutes to load. But yet I run a speed test says 30s. So tmo obviously doesn't throttle some connections like speedtest. Which is shady as hell in my book.

Damn if they are gonna throttle you, you might as well go prepaid on Cricket or Straight Talk. $45 for unlimited talk, text, and 3gb of data each month.

I only pay 10 bucks a month for unlimited talk and text and 3gb of data
Plus ATT throttled Cricket to 8mb download on LTE at all times.
