So I posted a few weeks ago about how my iPhone 5 on Verizon had started dropping to 3G when it had previously gotten a good LTE signal. I got a new SIM card and the issue persisted for another few days. My billing cycle just turned over and now it's back to a strong LTE signal in the exact same location.
Am I being throttled? Out of my family plan with a 4S, a 3G android, a feature phone, and a 4g LTE iPad, I use way more data than the rest of the devices (over 5 gb/month of 6 gb plan, or at least that's what My Verizon tells me). I'd use less if I had regular wifi access, but unfortunately my phone is one of my only Internet sources outside of school. So I guess I'm wondering if there's a way to distinguish throttling from regular signal issues. Also, is Verizon throttling LTE yet since 3G is overloaded?
