GetHuman-fmc: Throttle my own speeds
GetHuman: Can you tell the rest of us a bit more from what happened on 11/28/17?
GetHuman-fmc: You have to pay before the due date,but you don't get new data until the day after payment is due. So if your plan is due and runs out of data on the *th you have to pay on the *th before the due date but dont get new data until the *th around noon if your lucky. If you run out of high speed data,you speed is reduced to ***kbs wich is a crawling speed, have trouble just loading images.if you download a file or watch YouTube videos your data is used up a lot faster, if you download an app that is **mb in size it uses twice to * times amount of your data to download the file at *g lte speeds fast download but at at a high clock rate. If you could throttle your own speed to *mbps that would be substantial to watch videos for extended times,but no setting to switch from *g to *g. Other than that, I get a great signal and customer service is the greatest. **.** a month *.* gb of data unlimited talk and text. Lumia ***. I liked family mobile t-mobile *g I could watch YouTube videos all i wanted at *mbps, but of course signal issues,still a problem, so I had to switch to Cricket wireless Lumia *** is unable to utilize hot spot internet sharing,says so says this software version does not support internet sharing, If it did Cricket would let me for the ** dollar plan plus ** dollars per line so for **.** dollars if my Lumia *** Windows *.*-* let me use hotspot I could. But I can only imaging how much data my PC could **** up,I could use * GB of data with my PC using internet sharing with my phone faster, if you watched YouTube videos all day for * days it would use all your data up before the monthly plan is up. So for surfing the web it is great,for streaming videos on YouTube not so great, downloading files is fast but uses *mbps to download a file. A ** Mb file x *mbps uses about ruffly *** Mb this is an inaccurate figure but just simply saying if you download any file you really have to constantly monitor your usage wich is a huge spoiler, and basically makes *g lte a huge disadvantage at *-to * mbps. If I could throttle my speeds to *mbps that would be my lucky number.
