General Reports

If you're talking about the unlimited data plans that were offered with the original iphone, AT&T's been found to throttle data at 5 GB. The FTC is taking them to court over it.

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/29/te...pagewanted=all

The only carrier that's offering unlimited is T-Mobile someone mentioned that they "throttle", but that's a misnomer. T-Mobile does what's called data deprioritization if someone goes over a set amount of data. Let's say my phone is connected to a cell tower and I'm over the data threshold. If anyone else is on that tower, my data needs will come after the other users on the tower that have not gone over that threshold to manage the traffic in the tower. If people move to a different tower or your signal moves to a different tower, your speeds may go back to normal.

True throttling means that after the data cap set by carrier, data will be, well, throttled. In the case of AT&T, it'll be slower than dial-up service no matter what the traffic is like on a tower.

See: http://www.tmonews.com/2015/05/t-mob...ion-explained/.

So what's the threshold if you're on T-Mobile and you're worried about getting your data deproritized? 21 GB. (http://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-p...rs-footer.html).

T-Mobile is threatening to throttle some excessive users, but in this case the issue is about tethering some users are bypassing the networks checks in place to essentially provide boradband services to their home networks off LTE for an extended amount of time (in some cases, racking up 2 TB of usage) which the TOS of every mobile carrier forbids.

I switched from AT&T to T-Mobile because AT&T kept on making hints that they didn't want unlimited data customers on their network any longer. I was also throttled on AT&T on several occasions. T-Mobile service in LA wasn't as good as AT&T, but I didn't find myself missing AT&T either. In fact, in many cases, my data up / down speeds were faster than AT&T. I haven't had any problems with T-Mob on Oahu in fact, T-Mobile's network is built on VoiceStream's old network, and that's been around for about 20 years.

That being said, T-Mobile is notorious for bad coverage in rural areas, but to be fair, I hate camping and I hate "getting away" from civilization, so my idea of fun is not going to the middle of nowhere. T-Mobile's signal also has a problem with penetration in buildings because it primarily uses the 1. 9 Ghz band; however, the company's been buying blocks of 700 Mhz spectrum for LTE signals that have twice the range and better penetration (LTE Band 12).

It's also important to keep in mind that people regularly throw around the word "throttling" without appreciating the nomenclature (throttling vs. Data deprioritzation), or that wireless data transmission and receiving has many variables involved, from the design of the base station to the antennas on the phones to even the weather, and that Hawaii's data backbone just plain sucks. The fiber running to Hawaii has needed an upgraded or years. Hawaii's also not a high priority for anyone running a high trafficked website, so the datacenters and some cases, DNS are resolved on the mainland have to be looped back to Honolulu. In other words, there can be a lot of latency because you live in Hawaii.

You iz right. I am grandfathered into this "UNLIMITED EVERYTHING" plan- it used to cost $50, (for just one line), made a decision to go family plan, now, got to change it up due to female dramas. I talked to AT&T and they said for just 2 lines, going be about $150. Get this; yes, I can drop the biatch and _STILL_ keep my grandfathered plan- but at a cost of approx $100/ month.

I'm listening to suggestions, but yes, what you said is correct. This plan is golden, and 4 G LTE speed anywhere on the island is crip.

Just wondering if get others out there with similar plans (or close to it) at a cheaper cost. $100/ month could be used for mongering!

Braddah H.

P.S. Sorry forgot to add; I could keep the HO on my plan, and she pays her half 2 lines for $75 each. But I'm tired of this drama, and it would be a great "F U"
to her if I cut off her plan (she has the grandfathered one as well) and leave her hanging. Braddahs, if u were in my shoes, what would u do? I understand I haven't told the entire story, just trying to keep it short and sweet.

The best and strongest signals on Oahu are Verizon and At&t. T mobile and Sprint sucks ass. They throtle your data and there signal and coverage on oahu sucks ass. A 50 GB data plan on At&t I think is $250 a month plus $40 for the talk and text and $35 for the iphone, so you looking at over $325 a month. Keep your plan, Its all about the data.

T-Mobile sucks? I didn't realize that. I have T-Mobile and it works fine, though I don't go all over the island. Mine is 30 bucks a month no contract, 5 Gigs of 4G LTE which I haven't gotten close to getting throttled yet. Bad thing is some girls check and they think I'm someone else with a history because these numbers get recycled.

The thing about staying on the grandfathered plan is you're stuck on an older phone and eventually you want to upgrade.

AT&T would be more. If you bring in your own phone or buy the phone upfront, unlimited talk, text and 2 gb data would be at around $65-$70/ month. They throttle (slow down your mobile data) when you reach close to your 2 GB data a month. Most people I know who have AT&T plans either have unlimited talk, text and 2 GB data individual plans or, they share a family plan with 10 - 15 GB of data. My former coworker who has the family plan has 4 lines with 10 -15 GB of shared data for like $160/ month.

If you had a UNLIMITED cell phone plan with AT&T, (talk, text, and data) - what would you consider reasonable for a monthly fee? (The phone is the latest iPhone.).

Just want a different perspective; thinking about changing my plan. Mahalo!

I was irriated one time I went after a long hiatus when I got pulled into a room and asked if I was off duty (I'm not a cop), but I guess I don't blame them. They have to be paranoid.

Yes I know what you guys mean; I've had a handful of well known legends within the past few months. We actually starts with a little Russian, then it slips in. I actually paused when it slipped in and ask the model for a condom but she said she didn't have one. So I banged her, but was worried too. She was a younger popular model too. However now for FS, I always ask for the umbrella.

This iodine trick sounds cool but I doubt it's doing shit if a guy lasts more than a minute. Empire is an example.

The younger ones can use their age and beauty to get guys to see them without going uncovered. I know Lucy at Happiness sprays your boto with iodine and makes sure you rinse with mouthwash. I don't think we're lucky to have providers who go uncovered. We've been lucky that we haven't caught any STDs if you've gone bb. Personally, I rather go covered than take a chance of catching something. Of course, when you kiss, BBBJ, or daty, the risk of catching something is there. Just be safe and hope we are remain lucky and not catch anything.

Look at my earlier posts on other threads. I did research on her and luckily didn't get suckered by her. She has a bad rep in DC and out east as a person who takes advantage of newbie and less informed mongers. In it only for money and sells herself for $$$ after house. Maybe she'll change her ways? Maybe not. But this girl is nothing but bad news so far. If someone proves me wrong, I'd be very happy. Otherwise though, stay away.
