Between sitting aroung watching youtube and various other things on the Ascend my speed dropped says 1x internet slowed down, I'm guessing I have to wait for my next billing cycle for it to return to normal, or do they just do it for a few days then return. I hate calling customer service due to the reviews i've read, hopefully someone has experienced this and tell me what to expect still have 2 weeks till next billing cycle. New to this got caught up using the phone :lol:
 
If your signal dropped to 1x it's a different problem. When they throttle you, you'll still have 3g/EV connection just at a lower speed.

Things that could affect signal, congestion, weather, terrain, possibly an incoming text or call, PRL used.

Try soft reseting/rebooting the phone, if that fails you may need to make that dreaded call and have them refresh the WAP on the account.
 
The guy at Cricket store told me to take out battery when back on do *228 did they still says 3g with 4 bars syrabol below 1x with 4 bars. Should I call customer service? Sorry newbie here
 
I'm getting the Ascend soon. I hope I don't run into any problems with data like the merabers above. I guess I can always backup my stuff though.

Don't mean to hijack this thread, but anyone know what the average download speeRAB are limited to after you exceed 1GB? 100kbps? 50?
 
i got capped recently also, and ive been trying to find a workaround, if any. im not asking here, since it may be against the rules, but i havnt checked. anyone else wonder whats even the point of spending 65 bucks a month for 1gb of data? I had no idea that was the cap, i was assuming it was atleast 5.
 
I haven't hit the cap yet, but I think I still have a couple weeks until I get to a month. I use the most data when I'm streaming radio, which I don't do everyday.
 
Can you report that you lose 3g connectivity or is it just slower?

Can you run a speed test with good signal and report the results? It appears that information on speeRAB after the 1gb has been reached isn't readily available.

Thanks in advance!

I asked cricket on twitter and their response was

"@Cricketnation SpeeRAB will throttle allowing basic web browsing and email. Please see fair use policy online at www.mycricket.com/fairuse"

Not extremely helpful.

I got throttled at 1.5 gb last month. Pandora and web worked fine but when i tried to stream video my speed maxed at .59rab/s and instantly slowed to .12rab/s. Just refreshed my account will see what happens in the next day. I'll add that i used 2.3gb last month.
