Slow speeds and its brand new

I just bought this jetpack a day ago. Within the first night when i had 4g LTE. I was trying to run my xbox off of it plahing games or streaming videos and it was extremeley slow and i went through my 4g in less than 5 hours. The store told me my town was for 4g so why are my speeds so slow?

Did you use 10 GB of hotspot data in 5 hours?

Yes but why were the speeds so slow even from the beginning

My guess is that you hooked up your Xbox or other devices to the internet and they immediately began to download updates and patches. This bogged down your connection and contributed to you going over the 10 GB limit within 5 hours. Now you will have to make due with 3G speeds until your data plan resets.

I would advise disabling automatic updates on your xbox until you feel comfortable with your data usage needs. Try to offload your major downloads and updates for a non metered network connection if you have access to one and leave the Jetpack for normal playing. Playing games online usually doesn't consume much data, its the patches and the major updates that cause problems.

What about the speeds whether it be during the first day I got it to now

the speeds were not sufficient enough to load a YouTube video with 720

pixel quality without pausing. I was informed ponder was 4g area but these

speeds are slower than molasses.
