Carrier AT&T going too far with the throttling.

Hold on.
You're using Mywi for tethering your carrier data to another device and you're doing a speedtest at the same time?
And then you wonder why the speedtest results are poor?

Sorry, but I have no sympathy for someone who's still on an unlimited plan and tethering off it, when others (myself included) played by the rules and paid for a tethering plan.
You may think I'm a sucker, but I don't get throttled, ever.
If you were getting throttled for JUST phone usage, it would be a different matter and I'd sympathize. The plan is for unlimited on-phone usage and you should be able to use data on your phone unlimited-ly for any legitimate use. But if you're clinging to unlimited and using WyWi, then you best take your lumps when you get throttled, and keep the fact that you're tethering quiet, lest you get caught and the throttling problem "solved" for you by AT&T.
Hey OP - stop using so much and ruining it for the rest of us. AT&T seems to have lifted the throttle so many throughout the country. SO DON'T RUIN IT!
