Obrbi Lbr20 using T mobile SIM card is throttled

Hoping someone can help me. I have an orbital Lbr20 with a SIM card plan with t mobile. The plan says no throttling and unlimited through Nomad Internet. With the SIM card activated, I had great internet speeds for the first 24 hours...speeds up to 50MB downloads. After 24 hours, I am getting throttled with speeds down to less than 1MB. Can't stream anything. Is there something I can adjust on my Orbi router? I hear that one can repair the IMEI number, but not sure what that means.

 

any advice would be appreciated. 
Thx - SJJ

    You'd have to check with your isp. 

    They are the ones that throttle speeds, not the router.
