Root "removed throttling" listed as one of the goodies in custom ROM?

Does that mean what I think it means? That we will be able to get higher up/down LTE data rates? If so, GIDDY!

There is no evidence that the throttling is active. On carriers that do use the throttling it is activated only after a certain number of gigabytes are downloaded.

In other words it most likely will have no effect.

in other words its server sided and not client sided meaning not controlled by our phones but by their network?

depends, on tmobile you are throttled to edge speeds, on sprint you have unlimited data at 3g/4g speeds.

what it basically does in a nutshell is kinda like http pipelining, allowing for more "pipes" if you will to carry bandwidth.. no idea what effect this will have on lte as ive never used it. but it works pretty good on sprint's cdma

Here is a thread that gives you an idea of how and what this modification may do

again thats for tmobile, who knows you to edge after 2-5GB's (not sure what it all is now with current plans was 5gb when i was with em)
