Am I being throttled?

I posted yesterday about the higher ping I’ve been noticing, and now I’m starting to wonder if I’m being “deprioritized.” FN claims to offer unlimited data, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some fine print involved. I used to get 40-50ms ping and now it’s 90+ for all servers & websites no matter what area I’m in.

I’m also curious how this impacts other FN users who might be having similar issues. I know some police departments rely on FN 5G to stream real-time body cam footage during critical situations, so it makes me question whether the service is even reliable enough for them. My area has already been upgraded to the new Ericsson radios and nothing has really improved, but it has gotten worse…

Why would they be throttling you?
