I have tried contacting support and they cannot seem to find anything wrong. i have full bars and am connected to 4g. i have tried a soft reset, factory reset, looked for updates for the software, it throttles to about the same speed as my phone does with I overuse the hotspot. the only conclusion i can come to is verison is actively throttling the connection. if they can not resolve this ill be making a formal complaint to the fcc. please let me know if i'm missing anything
