Starting a few days ago the hotspot service that many of us pay EXTRA to have has been badly messing up. I noticed all of a sudden none of my Smart TV's would work, then I realized that my Hotspot speed was locked at 128kb... I thought it was a system goof and would reset when my service cycle started so I waited a few days until they charged me a new month. Now... I'm about to call my credit card and dispute the charges! The techs at Cricket have clearly messed something up and put hotspot accounts on restriction, even perfectly legit ones it seems! (Whatever QoS system you've activated is messing up BAD!)
A quick google search shows I'm not alone, and Cricket support is claiming everything from "tower maintenance" to "dual apn support" and everything thing else, which all ignores the fact that we are people who have had no issues with hotspot UNTIL whatever change was made happened a few days back.
At this point I see no reason to stay with Cricket and I post this as a WARNING to anyone thinking of switching. Don't count on using hotspot!
And to the Cricket people:
Yes. I have a plan that includes Hotspot
Yes. I am talking about a Cricket Branded Phone (that worked fine for hotspot until this)
No. I am not using lots of gigs.. In fact the current month shows near zero since you've broken the hotspot feature.
I've already called in a been given the run around. At this point I feel like I've just been ripped off and will have to double pay my phone service this month just to switch to somewhere else so I can have internet service at home (via hotspot)
