How do I throttle bandwidth with the MiFi JackPot?

[RonInReno]

Ho do I throttle the overall bandwidth speed on the MiFi JackPot to a particular limit for my internet connection? Other routers have this option. Where is it on the JackPot?

Thank you so much for your inquiry, RonInReno.

The download speeds of a 4G LTE Jetpack in a 4G area are between 5-12 Mbps and are typically higher in certain spots. This device does not operate in the same manner as a router, so there is not a way to alter the speeds. May we ask exactly why you want to throttle your bandwidth on your own?

I have the same question.  I want it fast enough the kids can do their schoolwork but not so fast that it uses my data too quickly.  DSL is 1.5 in my house midi is 30 so one zoom call can use almost 10 gig.  But if midi were throttled to say 7, zoom would still work but not use all my data so fast.   Coronavirus-2 kids at home plus EMS family member need a way to better manage my data.  Thank you

I understand the thought process on why this is being asked. With that said, we do not have a way for you to throttle your own bandwidth. There are a few suggestions over in this thread from 2016:
