Straight Talk throttle speed?

I haven't found any discussion on this topic. How fast are your throttle speeds after 2.5 GB?

They aren't throttled, but you will get a nasty phone call letting you know that if it happens again, they will disconnect your service... My wife got that call...

Seriously? That's against their new TOS

Unless they just changed it... she got the call about 2 months ago.

I believe they have changed their throttling/data limit policy just recently, maybe with the change to allow LTE.

Hmmm. Right now, I'm at 3GB and have yet to be throttled.

I have the ST iphone so it's using Verizon towers. I suspect I have been throttled as my speeds have gone from a whopping .30 meg to .10 if that. It's gotten super slow and was never fast to begin with.

I think I am going to get an AT&T sim and use the AT&T 3G if I end up moving.

My att sim is awesome. At 3.2 GB and not throttled.

Not necessarily. From their TOS:

The Unlimited service plans are subject to certain limitations. See paragraphs 6 and 7 below.

Paragraph 6 states:

The Straight Talk Unlimited Plan MAY NOT be used for unauthorized uses that adversely impact our service.

A person engaged in unauthorized uses may have his/her service throttled and/or terminated. In some circumstances, Customers may be provided notice and an opportunity to take corrective action with respect to unauthorized uses before their service is terminated.

Not necessarily. From their TOS:


Paragraph 6 states:

I stand corrected.

 

[scotrinaf]

I stand corrected.

Or sit corrected, as it were...

 

[ajt1995]

No, I was using my phone.

Is anybody getting throttled? I'm at 4.2 GB!
