Boo on the throttle!!!

So I notice last month that the data throttle is in full effect. It don't seem to effect general web browsing when tethering to my laptop, but Netflix, movie downloading, and other forms of streaming have gone to a snail speed. I was getting about 200 kb/s up to the 2.5G's, then after the throttle is in effect it drops to about 30 kb/s max. My question is, does anybody know of a way to prevent the throttle? I've already done the 0.0.0.0 proxy trick from the hidden menu.

Follow this link my friend. and let wise skater guide you on your way to dethrottlement.
it helps a bit. but boost still manages a way to slow you down. :p
 
Hmmm. I wonder what's up. The release I read stated that it would affect 4g and once the limit was reached speeds would drop to 3g.
 
Thanks Rarewolf, sorry for the late response, on my part. I've been working allot lately and haven't had much time for prevailing,lol. When I get home tonight I'll be doing everything it says in the link.
