I recently did some antenna work and tried to do some CA locking (no such luck). I am now getting significantly slower speeds. I am now in single digits and it is 1100 pm where I am. Anyway to tell if I am being throttled?

Sorry for the late response, super behind here.
With Tmobile make sure you set the TTL for both IPV4 AND IPV6 to avoid hotspot limit throttling.
CA cannot be controlled, only bands. the tower decides the CA stuff. But you can help some by trying to anchor the modem to specific bands, as the anchor band determains the capable CA bands.
I'm no super nerd on anchor bands and how to get the modem to prefer one band over the other, as different modems are different.

Pull the tower stats off cellmapper. Where I'm at, Band 66 and 71 are an awesome combo, why the 7411 is so sought after. 66 is 20mhz and offers great DL, 71 is 10mhz, high penetration and where I'm at offers great upload. When I set the modem to only those two, I get great results assuming you have signal strength.
YMMV...
