The default settings for a 500 Sustained Data rate is 256 for both data Uplink and Downlink, and for 1000 sustained data rate is 500 for both rates. If you have a 500 sustained data, change the uplink to 128 and downlink to 384. In 1000 sustained data, changed the uplink to 256 and 768 for downlink.
