Verizon Throttling, LM960a18/wg3526

Hey LTE community! I Have a slight dilemma, I recently purchased a verizon business unlimited plan sim card, used the 20gigs in less than a week and have been getting throttled pretty bad. I verified it by sticking other verizon sim cards in the router and it was unthrottled. I Have tried every TTL from 63-117 and had no luck, I also copy and pasted the IPV6 and other firewall settings that I found in this forum and it seems to no avail.... My question is....is there a work around for this or am I screwed for this plan and should look for something else? Does anyone have any recommendations with a verizon plan that is not being throttled? My setup is mobile with a medical unit bouncing from wildfire to wildfire and so picking the closet tower isn't really an option because it changes daily. Im ok paying extra if it means not being throttled. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

Steve

Could Try custom firewall rules. Also sometime people have to add one to the TTL. Meaning it might be 118 instead.

start TTL rules
iptables -t mangle -I POSTROUTING -j TTL --ttl-set 117
iptables -t mangle -I PREROUTING -j TTL --ttl-set 117
ip6tables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -o wwan0 -j HL --hl-set 117
ip6tables -t mangle -I PREROUTING -i wwan0 -j HL --hl-set 117
#end TTL rules

After setting your TTL--
try this to make sure your TTL setting is, what you think it is-

To do a ping, get default address—probably 192.168.1.1
then do a CDM command window—type ping(space)192.168.1.1 hit enter and you should see your TTL settings.
APN is VZWINTERNET

also, does the device you have, have a unlimited data plan, and hotspot data, ( 2 different things) and does your device show on Verizon website as such.

How can I switch it to 118 possibly? just write it in the commands? There isn't an option for the drop down TTL menu under firewall settings.

Custom is one tab over to the left. Cut and copy this in there.
