Carrier AT&T throttling/preventing App store downloads?

Spoke too soon. Slow again

I haven't had issues with AT&T but tons of issues on wifi both home and at work. Work wifi seems to not to like App Store at all, I can view things in the App Store and the downloads to try to start but then stall. Same with iOS updates.

It carries over to home as well, where I had to full restore my phone last night to get it working on home wifi again to download apps or check updates. Both cases cell worked. Resetting network or all settings did not work, only the full restore. Home works now, work still does not.

I've been testing all day and everything seems to be working now. I'm in Wisconsin

Same here, but in FL.

Still having issues here in SWFL with LTE. Apple Music radio works fine but not queing up music. It plays for a second then stops. Also App Store try's to download but takes for ever or stalls out. Everything works perfectly on wifi.

Now I'm getting slow app store on my Wi-Fiv network. This is getting very irritating

Saw some improvement earlier during the day. Then tonight I went out of town and it's happening again. This is pretty embarrassing ATT.

Today when using Apple Music only one song paused so it seems to be working better for me. Hoping it stays this way.

I just downloaded two apps from the App Store without issue using AT&T LTE in NC. I haven't noted any network issues here.

I would to add that I have been dealing with this same issue as well. Although it's not throttling, it's the ATT network based on my testing. The AT&T network isn't delivering more than 5 mbits on average. I ported over to tmobile today and all my problems went away. Getting about 76 mbits in Miami with T-Mobile. I attached some screenshots from speed tests on AT&T taken a few days ago.

My testing involved driving to different points of the city and doing speed tests with an AT&T 6s+. This is either a network congestion problem or AT&T has failed to grow with the times. Either way, I switched, I am saving money and I have about 10 times the speed I had before.

To my knowledge, I have been having the problem mentioned on this thread for a good 12 months, I do not think this is limited to just apple devices.

edit - I have attached a third speed test from a oneplus one android phone to further demonstrate that AT&T is just not doing so well with their service.
