High Latency and Packet loss

I would like to think it is a temporary issue but given it is pretty consistently 80% packet loss and extreme latency it is more than likely over aggressive throttling. On another conversation a user in LA reported normal behavior without the excessive packet loss and extreme latency. I haven't seen enough responses to see if there is some regional profile that seems to be related but given the other user that chimed in from AZ on another conversation sees the same thing it is hard to say. It is probably some change T-Mobile has made. I doubt T-Mobile will readily communicate on the matter. 

It is interesting to see Speedtest.net run. I think the ping latency reporting by the application might not actually be from the pings but rather from the TCP session establishment. I know from my packet capture the TCP ports used and can see the three way handshake process etc… plus I see the pings that all seem to fail to get a response. Since I am seeing good speeds up and down and low jitter values it makes me a little suspicious about the reporting methods. Using fast.com the results are pretty similar so both tend to agree and report 47-48 ms latency.
