I believe they are only throttling 4g data at 2.5 GB then the speeds well drop to 3g. The sequent is only 3g right? So you have nothing to worry about!

Damn. I don't get why boost is doing this, the unlimited data was part of why I'm still here. If they don't hold true to there bring any sprint phone you want and flash it ad, then tmobile will be seeing me lol. No data caps on i think one of there plans and same for metro pcs' 4gLTE plan.

Ooooh... :( you really don't want metro pcs cuz you'll lose reception after you leave the city you bought it in. Their service area is spotty at best. They are a handset's biggest disappointment. But yeah, my phone is 3g and now that I'm throttled I get 50kbps... And I still have 2more wks to go...:mad: the Warp Sequent ROCKS and the guys here helped make it this way. It's nobody's fault but my own I burn up 10-15G/month in data. Once I finish optimizing my phone to where I wanna be I'll slow down a bit, but I'll chew the mud trying to do so and help what I can until I reach that point of satisfaction. :smokingsomb:
 
there is no method of disabling data usage detection, they figured us out and started tracking it the right way so now you cant get past it

I can't get this to work

Never mind, I figured it out
 
Ok, this seemed like a great idea, however, they throttled me today! All my proxies are set to 0.0.0.0 This doesn't work. I also done this on my girls zte. She received her data warning today
 
it doesnt really matter, you might get a slight boost in speed not having to go through the proxies but it doesnt stop throttling
 
BEST tip ever! Has anybody tried it recently? I got a couple of those warning messages from Boost already for data overages. If they've figured it out, I would hate for them to cancel my account!
Thanks again!
 
Hey, I'm having a problem getting my MSL to come up when in alogcat. I punch in ##3282# to my dialer then return to alogcat and just get coding. the only groups of numbers are in 4 or 5 groupings. thanks for your help in advance guys

This thread should be archived as this no longer works. There are no workarounds either. Sorry
