Probably a bit tedious, but you could cross-reference the votes in the poll attached to this thread with the location of each user and gather about 60 data points.

Okay here are the surprisingly consistent results:
- Throttling confirmed in NJ, NY, MA, CT, PA, ME, MD, MI, IL, OH, VA, NC, SC, GA, FL, and partial CA
- No throttling in OR, WA, AZ, TX, partial CA, or Canada.

Hmmmm...there does seem to be an East-coast trend here. Nice job interrogating the data. Didn't take you as long as I thought it would.

I'll bet it turns out the be a time-zone problem.
The throttling started right around daylight savings time (November 4th), no?
(half joking here, half totally serious.)

Ok, another data point (not that it helps...). I just had the car in for service (door handle). When I got it back, I immediately noticed that the problem was gone! Songs buffered in seconds, Tunein podcasts buffered quickly, and fast.com consistently gave me about 1 Mbps. All with LTE of varying signal strength. I thought “Great, they must have given me a new FW download”, but the FW version was the same.
Then, after 2 days, it disappeared, and I’m back to 150 Kbps. Region: MA.

I attributed it, without any supporting data, to the iPhone X release and suspected that AT&T had upgraded their towers with a patch that was incompatible with Tesla’s LTE modem.
The partial CA seems out of place. Am I to read that no one outside of these places have had an issue? This is really strange to say the least.

This is still very low sample size, but yeah I suspect the Partial CA is an outlier. People seem generally fine in the NW, West, SW and South. And not fine in the North, NE, East, and SE.

I have been driving in NYC and the throttling seems to have been fixed since installing 50.3 yesterday.
have you tested your bandwidth? Some drivers are saying 50.3 helped and others that it didn't.

Yeah, very weird for me, as well. I'm on 50.3 since two days ago. Last night the streaming was unbearable. This morning it was pretty bad, as well.
I just hopped in the car and went to lunch... It was pretty quick loading a song, so I did a fast.com speed test. Low and behold I consistently got 1.5-2.2 mbps throughout my 20 minutes of driving.
Interesting to see that others are reporting that it's working, as well... Is it fixed all of a sudden?!?!

I dunno... Others above reported that theirs started working magically this afternoon, and mine has too... Does anyone know for sure an AT&T patch was installed today or is that speculation?

Only on rare occasions does anyone on TMC have, what you would call, "facts."
This post has identified the need for a new rating option. I selected "funny".
But what I really wanted was "funny-because-it's-true".

For what it’s worth, I’m in the Boston area and had the disminished data speed problem since November. I checked Fast.com this morning on my commute to work and this afternoon on the way home and experienced the low data speeds.
However, sometime between 5 and 7 PM the problem resolved and speed went back to normal. Hopefully whatever the issue was is permanently resolved. As we’re expecting a blizzard tomorrow I’ll check again on Friday. I hope others are seeing similar improvements in speed.
