no wrongs on this end. I can assure you.
throttling speed still has nothing to do with what unlimited refers to in those plans. the unlimited refers to the amount of data. nothing with how fast it is. throttling is independent but yes it does reference speed if per say you munched a ton of data already. most carriers would deny doing such a thing and even so your data is still unlimited in the amount you can use through the speed your getting whether throttled or not.
and saying your 4G is faster than most hardlines/wifi is very subjective. the free wifi's sparsed around everywhere are going to be crap because the businesses are trying to provide access as cheaply as possible. they could even be providing an AP to a mobile network which in essence would be wifi to 3G/4G/LTE and would still suck.
as for you're 4G, I have no doubt it's good & fast. any hardline I have access to or would waste my time using is faster though and eccie is still slower than it used to be not even loading images. there is a noticeable delay.
the ping to
www.eccie.net is under 200ms which is generally a good thing but through a tracert the ping jumps up over double when it his the amstn102.**.**(and so on) servers. seems odd but being as I never bothered checking prior to the upgrade I can only speculate.
