Today on LTE I was getting less than 100kbps repeatedly.
I connected my AT&T cell phone via wifi tethering, and got 2.3 or 2.4 mbps on fast.com on the in-car browser.
Perhaps the problem isn't AT&T throttling.. perhaps it's the Jasper Networks proxy server that everything funnels through when on LTE/3G.

I still have the problem and haven’t heard back from my last email I sent with further information to help them ‘troubleshoot’. This is a problem that seems to be getting more widespread over the last week, and it’s been going on for me for almost two weeks now.
Since getting the ,42 update, streaming has been terrible with continual buffering. I thought it was an issue just to my car until I saw this thread.
Mods, please DO NOT do this. I called TESLA and they seem to think it is probably a software issue.

Same issue here. Normally Slacker would buffer the entire song after 10 seconds or so. But as of a couple weeks ago it's been buffering so slow that it often has to pause multiple times per song just to buffer. Takes a long time between songs as well. But if I setup a wifi hotspot, the songs buffer quickly. I took a road trip and same issue, so I know it's not my local towers.
I've also got a new bug where the car fails to pause the music while streaming. I press pause, the interface updates to show it paused, but the stream only pauses for a second or two. Very annoying.

I just went for a drive and LTE speeds were back to normal again for the first time in a couple weeks. Songs fully buffered in seconds. Hope it stays like this.
Same problem for me in the DC metro area. Fast.com readings on 4G range from 170 kbps to 240 kbps. On my home WiFi it says 2.4 Mbps.
Slacker is failing for me, and accidentally touched the satellite view on maps, and it took a good five minutes to refresh the screen enough to change it back. So, not just music issue.

From all the messages on this thread it would seem that this is entirely an LTE issue.
Ever since .42 I'm had all the issues described herein. Upgrading to .44 might have fixed the center screen reset issue but the slow load issue is as bad as ever. Is Tesla having problems paying their cellphone bills?

I wonder if they've simply decreased the bit rate.
"How Much Speed You Need to Stream:
Slacker Radio internet speed requirements
App Streaming
Web Streaming
Slacker Radio presents its speed recommendations slightly different than the other music streaming services we examined. It lists speed recommendations based on the platform or operating system you’re using. It has two recommendations, based on two different quality tiers, for streaming from the Slacker website. It also has separate recommendations for streaming through its Android app and its iOS app, although they happen to be the same number."
