    Nope it's installed on the Amazon FireStick only. No need for it on my phone or laptop.

    Might be a throttled download speed... I'm on Verizon LTE and, depending where I am and time of day, I've seen some awesome numbers that rival cable at times. But their data is a bit too pricey for me to even consider streaming.

    What can one do with a Jailbroken Fire Stick? We use one at home and I do like it a lot.

    Precisely why I purchased the grandfathered unlimited data plan off eBay. No throttling after you reach a certain data limit.

    If you are getting the numbers that you posted above, you are already being throttled.

    Ok well throttled or not, 5 mbps is plenty fast enough for streaming. Why would anyone need more speed than that on a truck?

    The plan I used to have would throttle me down to 2g after 10 gig. I've used 25 gigs so far this month on the Verizon MiFi

    Fair enough. If they throttle me down to 5 mbps, I'm cool with that, lol
