Unthrottle??? - HTC Rezound

So I know there was a thread on this back in January and it looks like it died right when the ICS leak came out. Has anyone come up with an unthrottle script or zip since then? Thanks

If we are to be throttled it would be server side not on our phones
Besides Verizon said at least in the beginning that they would not throttle their 4g customers

Throttling functions like QoS settings on a router; its independent of anything on the system being throttled.

Sounds good thanks guys

Yeah, it's server side. It cracked me up when the "Unthrottle now!" popped around. Did people think that deleting a file on your phone magically make your GB usage disappear on VZW's servers?

Wouldn't it be awesome if it did though?
Ah, dreams.

So, everything I've read indicates that Verizon is not throttling 4G customers. However, it sure does seem like I'm being throttled right now. I've had my Rezound for about a month and a half and I've always gotten speeds averaging 20mbps. Today, all of a sudden, I'm down to about 6mbps. I've conducted probably 10 tests in speedtest today and they're all around that mark. My phone is saying I'm connected to 4G (might as well be 3G with those speeds.) Given, I've ripped through about 20GB of data during this billing cycle already (thanks to a Hulu and Spotify free trial! ...and tethering). What's going on here? Are any other heavy data users experiencing this?

Verizon upped data for same price

I had the 5gb data plan for $50 a month. I just logged into my account and hit change plan because i was thinking about getting more data, and they are offering double data. Now i get 10gb and dont have to pay any extra. Pretty surprised on that one.
Wonder if that works for Hotspots too. Will have to check as I have a 4G Hotspot on a 5GB plan right now that I use for a bunch of non-3G devices.
Updated: Answer is no.
You guys could get unlimited data and unlimited hotspot if you did this.

That's good news, I pulled 5 GB last month basically streaming music in the car and with normal usage and that's with being on wifi all day at work because my building is a signal black hole. I don't know how they expect people not to go over these tiers they have, I can only imagine they are getting a lot of complaints from people going over and getting billed for it.

New att throttle policy really not affecting my usage

after being throttle to .6 mb this cicle i have to say im not seing a difference in my usage
i currently am at 9gbs of usage this month and am able to still stream my nba games live at throttled speeds still.
i currently am doing my parctice were i use my phone a lot for video chat and photo taking for price checking and inventory.
I aint tryying to denfend att in no way in fact i did start a complaint here in puerto rico fcc equivalent when this whole five percent thing started to the point of having to talk to there customer service manager.

That sucks. That almost happened to me this time when I changed my phone to GNote from Atrix. ATT tried to pull a fast one by charging me the same price for 3gb of data. It wasn't a difficult process but they did have to make a claim. Nowadays even supervisors can't change the plan... Thankfully, i keep a good eye on my usage.
I wonder if you guys can get the unlimited data plan back with the iPhone 2G (aka Original iPhone) trick. Get an old iPhone, activate it on iTunes and it will get you the unlimited data plan since that was the only plan available for the iPhone 2G. Don't know if that loophole was closed but some people have claimed they tried it in December and it was still working as of then.
EDIT: Looks like that loophole has been closed and no longer works
Beats getting overcharged i guess buat am able to use my phone normally so maybe now att is using there heads
or you can go the verizon way and have an 10gb plan (20gb if ya bought it at christmas time)
now theres a plan i dont think anyone will cross

They've been doing it for months and its everywhere not just in select areas but most people wouldn't ever use enough data to get throttled.
The only real change is that now they've set the throttle cap at 3gb for HSPA+ phones & 5gb for LTE phones. Up until last month they were basing the throttling on being in the 'top 5%' of other users in your area, which resulted in people on 'unlimited plans' getting throttled under 2gb.
Whoops I hitbthebthanks button. People are not getting throttled like they are supposed to. Its pretty easy to see. They are being selective

Well thanks for the thanks anyway lol.. I was always suspicious of how they were throttling but now that they've set some actual numbers in stone I feel a little better about it. I'm a little irritated though that I pay for two identical unlimited data plans (for the past 5 years) and now one gives me 3GB while the other gives me 5GB.. even though I pay the same for both.. Oh well, its better than randomly being throttled at 2GB I guess.
At about 6.5gbs (which is pretty low for my average monthly usage) and have not been throttled even after reviving notification.

Well...it is true that they are supposedly trying to only throttle in areas that are congested

Throttle remover

Has anyone made a throttle remover for ics yet?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
You don't get throttled...so why would you need a remover?
If you're throttled I've been told by Verizon it's because you're congesting the tower you're currently at. I guess that means if you're in a different area than where you sucked down all those GBs you should be normal speed.
But Nah not that I've seen. No throttle remover.

wildstang83 was one of the people making these things maybe try pm'ing him. For what its worth Verizon throttles on their end not the phone end so its just a placebo effect.
Also from what I can remember Verizon had once said that if they do throttle you it will remain in effect till the end of your billing cycle. That was over a year ago and things change so I could be wrong. I've also heard they won't throttle 4g but have never seen anything in writing from Verizon but it makes sense as it can handle larger loads.

When I was living in Ohio I took the bus to work. I'd just charge both extended batteries, keep the spare in my bag, and just watch Netflix during the trip (4 hours altogether.) Used 4G and never got throttled and usually used 8-9GB a month.

Idk man. The unlimited 4G at T-Mobile looks nice when mine's up. Although, I'm trying to be hopeful that it will somehow encourage Verizon to rethink their stance because in terms of coverage in my area, no one comes close.
If you want to keep your unlimited plan just don't upgrade through Verizon. You can usually buy the newer phones on their networks for around $200 - $300 on eBay, swappa, craigslist, or amazon. Just pick up whatever phone you want and walk into Verizon and request a sim for the phone or have then program it.

I thought about that to but doesn't T-Mobile throttle you after like 500mb though and force you on 3g or 2g for the remainder of the month? I think sprint is the only one that won't cut you off. For me if Verizon forces me off unlimited I think I'll stay cause nobody else has as good of service but sprint might be tempting.

Sprint can't throttle you because if they slowed it down any more, it wouldnt even load the play store. It already took long enough to do that when I had sprint. I loved sprints customer service but their data network is awful, not to mention it will take them forever to roll out 4g. Verizon might cost more per month but it's worth it. Sprint has unlimited because their 3g is so slow you can't use a lot of data and their WiMAX is almost nonexistent unless you live in huge cities. Just warning you guys.

Stamp. So damn true about Sprint... Verizon is second worst on 3g though, to be fair. GSM has always trumped CDMA in the 3g department in my experience.

Yea looks good but their 4g isn't that good or as fast as lte and they won't have lte for a while and their service isn't great especially in my area. But in the next 5 years when everyone has lte it will be good to see them really compete for customers.

Yea looks good but their 4g isn't that good or as fast as lte and they won't have lte for a while and their service isn't great especially in my area. But in the next 5 years when everyone has lte it will be good to see them really compete for customers.

Yeah they are behind. I have a long time on my contract though, so who knows by then.

Stamp. So damn true about Sprint... Verizon is second worst on 3g though, to be fair. GSM has always trumped CDMA in the 3g department in my experience.

I never had a phone on att that worked worth a damn (iPhone back when I didn't know how truely evil apple was) on 3g but I have seen others on att do well on 3g. But 3g works well for me on Verizon. I use it all the time since it doesn't hog battery like 4g which is great in my area. But when I'm running a speestest on 3g with my buddy and his HTC evo 3d next to me and I pull almost 2.0mbps down and 1 up and he barely pulls a .5 down and .1 up with his 400ms ping, Verizon's 3g is the **** lol. But you are right att 3g is better, their 4g is garbage through. Everyone i know barely pulls 7-8 down on att 4g while I'm flying by them at 40mbps while streaming Pandora in the background

Yea I mean if atts service didn't literally make me mad, I would still use them just for the phones.. Verizon's is the only one I've had that I actually notice how good it is. The phones and the lock down aren't that great that ¦~\ but service is first and foremost. Plus on LTE I've never had lower than 11 down and 2 up (its usually over 15 and under 40 up, with over 5 down) and I've been across states down south in 4G areas... ATT and TMO and Sprint don't compare in places Ive been down here. Plus my 3G speeds are as fast and their 4G pretty often and that's unacceptable to me.
Pitty there isn't unlimited anymore and some gooder phones lulz

We can thank the bastards that have usenet accounts and use 50-100+gb per month for that one. It really is useless, they probably just have one for the sole purpose of racking up as much data as possible.

I don't really think that's the reason... But I'm sure they considered that as well... I think it's because they own so much spectrum that they can increase the price of whatever they want and people will pay for it... Plus ATT started the teird data garbage. Verizon followed a year later... Then Verizon started the share plan garbage.. now ATT has followed that. It's all about money. Data used to be a lot cheaper once upon a time, but not as good persay.. Personally I think they should still have unlimited 4G and capped 3G or vice versa... Idk though... Meh it is what it is.
