Is Sprint Throttling its 4G Service

[Bikendi]

In last month there was a small thread 4G Throttling arrived, Reporting sluggish download speeds on top of Sprint's 4G WiMax service. Socialist Pig Nathan_in_TX broken back and reported the similar occurrence. The instant idea was that we were lastly seeing deliberate restriction classic, a kind of course that customers have been suffering for a number of time. However, at that time, his experience was also strikingly similar to the experience of many users of Sprint _3G_ at that time. I was one of the latter. We were entirely normal 3G upload speeds wherever around 500, with 800k, but completely terrible, with download speeds often useless sub-dialup. Due to this fact, I optional Socialist Pig Nathan_in_TX broken back and could am experiencing a real service problem other than the limit of network management course in style.

Hello, because I have serious doubts that the problem identified in 4G Throttling arrived? It was the classic deliberate limitation in all, I am extremely interested to recognize if Socialist Pig Nathan_in_TX broken back and particularly, and Sprint 4G clients DSL reports for a general, have experienced and / or have continued to experience what they suspect is limit since November last year. I also want to know if you continue to see normal upload speeds, such as PE, PP and TIN of all complaints.

I haven't knowledgeable several throttling or sluggish speeds in the past 3-4 weeks. I as well have been too scared to download a huge quantity of data. The most recent time I experienced the difficulty is the week I downloaded Civilizations 5 and Silent Hunter 5 from Steam. Later than putting up through terrible, terrible speeds for a week or so after I have been moreover scared to download anything of that amount. At rest been using it for a number of lights Netflix and then usual browsing, League of Legends and WoW and no troubles.

I have been occurrence several abnormal speeds and dropped connections. They are taking place once every 2 days. What happens is that the connection is dropped unexpectedly, despite the signal strength is normal, download and upload speeds were usual earlier than the interruption. Then when I reconnect, the download speeds are the entire over the map of the first 10 to 15 minutes. A discharge will typically start at a standard speed, regarding 9 Mbps, and then within two minutes, until reduced to about 1.6 megabytes per second, which is obviously far below the service said 3MEGA a second lowest average speed, and then within five to ten minutes the download speed will gradually recover.

The truth is that one of their individual Account Services said last month that they were too many towers in my area, and tickets open too many of them to even start to the conclusion that my problem had nothing to do with a tower. She said Sprint had begun hold up blame everything on what the acne pimple or that the tower possibly will happen to have in a given time and support has deteriorated markedly at that point. I was surprised rather its frankness, but at least made sense of many of the nonsense I had with them last year on the 3G.

I observe speeds wherever from 3-13 Mbps on top of speed test. Through the night yields the best results, while high time of day varies widely. As for the limitation, the server only implements the accelerator is on the rise, which is locked in 1mbps. 03-13 is within the specification of Sprint, which suggests that they believe, even a normally functioning network without slow strangulation that can be run from time to time (Sprint exact range of regular download speeds of 4G are 3-6 Mbps). As to whether there is an upload throttle 1mbps, yes, I was aware that for several months, since I did my business to meet your exact specifications, both for loading and unloading before upgrading.
