Hello
For further assistance with this, please reach out to our support team on Facebook (m.me/cricketwireless) or Twitter (@cricketsupport).
There are complaints all over the internet about hotspot speeds. I'm using a factory unlocked Note 20 and my data speeds are great on the phone but completely useless using my hotspot.
No response?
Upgraded to the 60$ a month plan because it's supposed to be faster. Speeds still mega throttled. You can't play lag free anything with cricket. Don't waste your money. Soon as I can afford it I'm.moving on. No matter how much you pay google searches lag, youtube freezes, any multiplayer game is just a joke.
They always respond with nonsense replies about degraded towers and working on it. It's been over two years and at this point I feel like a fool. Fingers crossed I'll be changing companies in the next two months.

This. Is the third time. I'm writing this keeps freezing. The ovation. Is not. A good fone first. Month. It ran. Perfect that it steadily has issues from dropped calls apps. Closing while. Useing. Keeps. Popping up file. Not found the constant messages about bs. Services I signed up for the no call list. Fone runs slow I've been with. Cricket. For over 7 years. No customer incentive. Or deals. To be. Honest. My zte ran better. Then. This. POS I've asked. About these issues. Only to get. A snaughty. Answer. Was told to. Fact reset. Didn't work. All of this. In 7 months. No one. Has an answer. I'm on. Core. Plan with taxes. I pay 68 dollars. For. The issues. I have. I'm tired of it. My fone. Is. Throttled. After. The. First week I pay my bill that's. Bs. There's. No way. I use. All that data in one. Week even the gorilla. Glass. They out on. No good. I keep my fone. In my front. Pocket nothing. Has hit it. Yet. The corners. At. Cracked. Battery takes 2 hours. Or longer. To charge when it's at 50%. Such bs. An crabby. Employees.
I have the same problem, data is so slow to the point that the Speedtest can’t find the host. simply stop work after like 2-5 mins, ì i google the airplane it works again for another 2-5mins.
Called in already, the tech said they even reset my line (yes, data is back to 0 and thanks for doing that), but my line is still throttled. It looks like system put mine in blacklist or so.
I don’t mind data slowing down at peak hours but I has to be usable.
right now it is 8:50pm and it am still being throttled.
We have 4 lines for $100, even tried to upgrade my lines to $60 plan so I can have premium data but Cricket does not allow me to do that.
this runs me nut in last 10 days and I have no clue what next I should try.
In the beginning I thought it is hardware problem, I bring the phone to Apple store and convince them to replace a new one, which they did :) Bravo to Apple
so I am here with a new hardware IPhone, set up as new not from restore…and I am a pretty tech guy knowing the phone in side out :)
Please advise!!!!!!
