Google Fi
-
It is my understanding you guys use Google Fi for your testing. How did you set up a plan. I am battling with Google support who doesn't seem to understand what I'm doing. I just got a regular SIM card on the Fi website and the ping is fine but throughput via an iperf3 test seems to be capped at 30kbps. Support says its because the sim card is only for phones and needs to be activated by a phone. What is the secret to getting a Fi sim to work on a Voxl with the SRC7611 or where did you guys get your sim(URL if you have it). Thanks!

@bendraper I'm not sure if this is still an issue for you, but you need to get a SIM specifically for data from here: https://fi.google.com/data - After they ship it to you, you can activate it through your Google Fi account using the instructions/activation code that come with the SIM.
