Here's the deal I have the 6 plus and so does my bro, both on family plan. I have grandfathered unlimited and he has 2gb cap on his. We just cycled into a new month but even before than speeds are acting like they're throttled. We are both AT&T and NEVEr experienced this slow of speed before. Like 3 down at best yuck, no matter where we are. We tried resetting network setting, and doesn't work. Wifi is fine though for both of us. Any suggestions?
Got a tip for us?

Call at&t and have them make sure the account is provisioned properly for LTE data. Or maybe try a new SIM card.
well talked to several specialists and both said everything should be as normal, but still getting crappy speeds at less than 5 down and barely 1 up. Wtf? New billing cycle so it's not throttled for sure. reset network setting, same results. wtf?

FWIW, I still have about 5Mbps down at my house but can get normal speeds of 25+Mbps around town so maybe it is just something with my tower?

You might have to call them back and have them reprovision your phone. They don't all know what they're doing.
Happened with me too. I switched my SIM from an HTC One M8 to an iPhone 6. I got online and chatted with them at AT&T. I said my phone is running slow and need a reprovision of data. He asked me for my IMEI number and after a couple of mins, he had me test my phone again and it was working fast as it should. He said they just needed to update the system (via IMEI) to show I have an iphone 6 instead of an HTC One M8.
Swapping the sim card seems to almost assure that it does not work correctly unless a phone call is made.
Interesting, similar problem here, and I the tech asked me for my IMEI and SIM numbers, but still slow speeds. However, there is one very particular spot on my walk to work that I do get around 22 down and 5 up.
