Poor Cell Throughput Huger SC
DizzyG24
Enthusiast - Level 2

I work for a company with about 1000 employees in Huger, SC just outside of Charleston. The actual cell signal isn't bad, 2-3 bars usually, but the data throughput is horrendous. All the company phones the employees use are on Verizon.  I access the Verizon Cell network through Xfinity. Up until 2 weeks ago my throughput was "usable". Now it's not. If I get a speed test to even load I get dial-up speeds or less. 

I contacted Xfinity, got a new Sim Card and even transferred the Sim card to a slightly older phone and there's no change in service. I was even paying for the higher tier which is supposed to give me higher priority due to congested networks, which had no effect.

Did something happen to a tower near here recently that caused this? My wife works here and here work phone today got less than 0.5 mbps on her Verizon phone.  I can't imagine our company would stay with this terrible throughput much longer. I know I'm considering leaving whether my company does or not
