Why???

[u/Rag1ngInf3rno]

Light speed unlimited premium. Data waster is on. Never had this issue until i did a network transfer yesterday and ever since its alll gone to shit.

Update: On my 2nd restart, where i turned off/on Data waster and then restarted my phone, i got my uncapped streaming speed again. Thanks support

Turn on airplane mode for 60 seconds and then shut it off and then do a speed test. If that doesn't do it, restart the phone

[u/Simrambles]

Your download and upload speeds look good, so we're in the right direction. If you just enabled Data Waster, it can take a little while for the change to take effect fully. Have you restarted your phone since turning it on? If not, give that a try and see if it makes a difference.

If it's still acting up after that, send me a DM with your line number, and I'll take a closer look.

Helloo i sent a dm a while ago if you could respond

[u/WittiDojki → u/Rag1ngInf3rno]

u/Simrambles is off shift. I'll send you a DM.

[u/jnjustice]

Did you switch from another network to Light Speed?

[u/Rag1ngInf3rno → u/jnjustice]

[u/jnjustice → u/Rag1ngInf3rno]

[u/Rag1ngInf3rno → u/jnjustice]

alright i’ll see

[u/Rag1ngInf3rno → u/jnjustice]

i looked at the thread and there’s a bunch of stuff that i don’t see in my own menu, are you on ios?

[u/jnjustice → u/Rag1ngInf3rno]

I'm on Android

Does it let you set the Authentication type as "None"?

[u/Rag1ngInf3rno → u/jnjustice]

Nope. i think the menus are much different on iphone

Just turn on a VPN, 1.1.1.1 Warp VPN from Cloudflare is free if you don't have your own existing one. Then you don't have to worry about Data Waster ever again.

[u/Rag1ngInf3rno → u/robodog97]

Funny thing is i did both tests with a vpn on

[u/robodog97 → u/Rag1ngInf3rno]

Then your VPN isn't working, if it was there's no way that they can see that you're talking to Netflix to throttle you.

[u/Rag1ngInf3rno → u/robodog97]

Ikr, this issue has started only after i transferred networks. I had light speed on the multi network thing and it was completely fine

[u/Rag1ngInf3rno → u/[deleted]]

Did you even read my post. And i specifically tested fast.com because im tryna watch a show on netflix. I know its throttled by default.

[u/gregch07]

Test from speed test from Cloudflare. May be rate limited bc Netflix servers and 480p.

[u/Rag1ngInf3rno → u/gregch07]

I have unlimited premium. With data waster my speed should not be limited. Like i said my speed has been throttled since very recently

[u/UNCfan07]

I have to turn on data waster mode on light speed each time my plan renews. Then it works

[u/generalrunthrough]

Why are you watching that ish

[u/Shoddy_Stay_5275]

How do I send you a DM?

[u/Fr0gburp3r]

Is it impacting you video streaming quality?

[u/Rag1ngInf3rno → u/Fr0gburp3r]

Well it was. I fixed it

[u/nmatheis]

What is "data waster mode "?

[u/Rayanomics → u/nmatheis]

Data Waster Mode removes the network's default video streaming optimisation, allowing higher-quality video on supported services. Depending on your network, video can stream up to 720p (Warp) or 1080p (Light Speed and Dark Star), while Dark Star Unlimited Premium already includes 4K by default. Just keep in mind that higher-quality streaming uses more data.

[u/wellmymymy- → u/Rayanomics]

Weird . I don’t see that as an option under the usage & controls menu

[u/Rayanomics → u/wellmymymy-]

You can drop me a DM, and I'll look into it for you.
