Root {help} 4G Limit

Hey Guys.... I am in a big pickle. I ran out of 4g and I am going CRAZY....

Does anyone know a trick to reset it?

I can switch phones back and forth to get more data. But I'm afraid they will catch on and ban me. ( I have no idea )

I don't have any money for unlimited 4g.

Any ideas?

What carrier?
 
Depending on the plan details and amount of phones. I have a 2 line family plan, one phone is unlimited (mine) 4g but not LTE - L70, one is not (wife) 4g LTE - Premia. I accessed a free hotspot on my phone and have a wifi hotspot at home also so only having one unlimited phone works for me. Metro gives a price cut for family plans I just don't know anything past 2 phones but my bill is well under $100/month, 2 lines, one unlimited, one speed is capped after a certain amount of data but not the data limit, $55 & $35. You could try switching to 2g or 3g since there should be no cap there, or just bump one up to unlimited and the others to the lowest 4g plan. Depending on the amount of phones your bill may not change much at all. Sorry if I rambled...
 
If its unlimited it isn't a cap you need to call metro and make sure they didn't push that on the other phone . how much service do the other device get
 
Reason I asked about root the raspo music app do weird thing when your rooted . Dont be surprised if you have unpaid songs

Something isn't right, before I switched my L70 to the unlimited plan, two lines ran me $70, now at $90 with one unlimited. There are two 4g plans under the unlimited plan. One caps speed at (I think) 500mb and the other 2.5g or something like that...
 
There is literally no way to bypass the speed cap via your phone. Everything is controlled server side.

It does say Fast but my speeds are NOT fast at all. 32kb/s on gplay downloading apps.

If you're not unlimited a better connection via an APN swap will only eat data more. Try a browser like Opera that has an option to compress data.

Why would I do that when my data is already capped? I am asking is there a way to use 3G? Or is the Capped speed 3G already
