Hello...i'am from Malaysia...I want to ask something about Internet packet data of ur country...can u give a little details about its??? It is cheap or expensive??
Speed Test app using lots of data??
I reset my celluar data statistics on Oct 17 and Speed Test is showing 329MB

Tons of data, each test that's between 90 Mbps - 120+ Mbps burns about 110-120 mb per test. Check back to my first test, there's a reason why I've included the cellular data usage

Back in the days before SpeedTest updated their app, each test would burn 5 MB per test on the IP3G-IP4S. Once the IP5 came around, its takes 20x more data to measure high speed networks accurately.
If you switch to HSPA+ it burns about 20 MB
Good old days of speed testing networks for fun is gone

Something screwy going on. The two slow speeds where from my house, been like that for days now. The next one was from work about 25 miles away. Had my wife try on her phone and it wouldn't even start test
Near Tulsa, OK

I've hit the soft cap several times before. Its because I stream a lot of music when I'm away from home. But I can bump the soft cap to 10 GB for a few bucks, so it's not a big deal.
Are you sure you've hit your soft-cap before? There's a huge diff when a carrier throttles you once you've hit your limits and you would know when it hits you, even when you don't get the SMS alert warnings. In this case, Wind Mobile throttles down to 32 kbps or slower once you've hit the 5GB limit, even coming from 1 Mbps is a huge diff and you would had known about the soft caps before I've stated it.
I've been throttle before on T-Mobile US with their 200 MB LTE and 2G "unlimited data" on their $3.00/ daily prepaid passes in the US. From speeds of 83 Mbps throttled down to even 1 kbps a few times, both the IP5 and IP5s got warm loading all that data at those speeds. I even had to turn off my cellular data to preserve my batt life in NYC.
Technically speaking, that ain't unlimited data when they throttle you to unusable speeds and kill your batt life to honor that gimmicky marketing and especially when you have a AWS network that doesn't even have enough towers to handle such a small amount of subscribers.
