    3 miles southwest of the TA in S Vegas. Every now and then I’ll connect to a tower or node that has dismal throughput but it’s not too often

    I've concluded it most like that I'm pre paid. Never had this issue on Verizon contract.

    They don’t throttle back speed after a certain amount of usage?

    On prepaid I get throttled hard core after 7 or 8gb. On contract it was not as bad. But that was a plan with a sibling that went sour.

    Might be network problems. I've been getting the all circuits busy message from time to time when trying to place calls.

    I feel sorry for the people that didn't get REAL unlimited data back in the day and KEEP IT

    $80 a month no matter how much I use (20-80 gb a month) and they can't throttle it
