All cool man, just did not want you to think I saying total internet replacement option :) Right now I am streaming homeland on hulu and wife is in another room watching something on sling. Great pictures and no buffering. Long as it doing that I never really check to see what speed getting.

We now have 4 phones on the party plan. Just last week had to hit them up on chat about the throttling on last one added. I do not know why it happens but it does. Not a fan of them (or their server) throttling me when not suppose too, but guess it just way it is. Guess they are getting back at me for streaming two devices at once, lol.

Keep us to date with your progress, really like to hear from others on Visible.
Hello again,
So I contacted Visible about phone being throttled they of course acted Coy like that wasn't a thing. But said they would try something on their end. Since that has worked great.
It literally has replaced my Verizon phone service just with higher pings.
Already got into a party pay line thru reddit should be paying $25 per month.
Awesome deal I think

Yea they act like "oh, that is bad - let me look at something":)

I really like Visible. It is Verizon without phone support (only chat or twitter) but much, much cheaper. We are basically testing the future for Verizon by using the service.

The ping can be a little irritating at times, but I can live with it. It is also irritating with the speeds at times, but unlimited all you can eat makes up for it.

Had to take emergency trip to Alabama (from TX) and never once was I without service. Interstate was of course covered, but we deep country Alabama and still have great service.

Party pay rocks!

Thought would put in my streaming experience with VISIBLE. Works perfect with Netflix, Hulu and CBS all access. Have issues with amazon prime video. Gets pixelated most of the time. Then every once in awhile works fine.
A vpn would work. Honestly never had good luck with VPN on my fire cube. Works one time then another doesn't.
For now when we watch prime switch over to T-Mobile data.

Hello again update,
OK so went and hooked up my visible phone to this and was getting the 5 up and down on it. Then in the GL.INET firmware went to "more settings" "advanced"
Then it opened another window to log into. Some kind of open wrt firmware. User name auto filled with root. The password is the same password you set up for the admin login on the GL.INET firmware.
After got to there went to "network" "firewall" "custom rules"
Removed everything that was in there and replaced it with.

#start TTL rules
iptables -t mangle -I POSTROUTING -o usb0 -j TTL --ttl-set 65
iptables -t mangle -I PREROUTING -i usb0 -j TTL --ttl-set 65
ip6tables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -o usb0 -j HL --hl-set 65
ip6tables -t mangle -I PREROUTING -i usb0 -j HL --hl-set 65
#end TTL rules

Then clicked "restart firewall"
After that had full speeds no longer limited to 5 up and down.

Hello again,
New update on this video resolution with Visible. After buying vpn 4 times finally found one that works with everything. Nord VPN works with everything I have tried with so far.
Tried it with:
Netflix, Hulu, CBS all access, prime video, acorn tv, youtube.
This is the first VPN have seen work with all of these so can just turn it on and leave it on. This is day one of this. Will post update if stops working on one of these.

Think has something to do with Tor Or VPN. To turn it on and off.

Hello,
Follow the instructions from this just above.

But paste in this instead for Verizon phone.

#start TTL rules
iptables -t mangle -I POSTROUTING -o usb0 -j TTL --ttl-set 117
iptables -t mangle -I PREROUTING -i usb0 -j TTL --ttl-set 117
ip6tables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -o usb0 -j HL --hl-set 117
ip6tables -t mangle -I PREROUTING -i usb0 -j HL --hl-set 117
#end TTL rules

On a Verizon phone? My verizon phone with Rooter worked with 117. My visible phone works with 65. Weird
These little routers are great.

I just pinged 8.8.8.8 on my cell phone and I get a TTL of 114... When tethered onto my Pac, pinging shows 113 (114-1). Does that mens I need to set my TTL on the GLINET router at 115?

Verizon has been known to use 117 or so. Worth a try.
