When we ran out of data on our old plan, we would go into 'safe mode' where it would be slower but still functional (3G speeds).

Actually, "safe mode" is capped at 2G speeds and not 3G speeds.

My speeds are so slow right now that my download speed is 0.74 Mbps and upload speed is 0.80 Mbps. No ok.

If you are saying your "safe mode" data was "slower but still functional" you should be just fine at the above posted speeds. "Safe mode" has a speed of up to 0.128 Mbps which is a fraction of what you have listed above. I would guess you simply forgot how bad the data speed was when you were in "safe mode".

Not only that, but "safe mode" is an actual throttling of your speed where re-prioritization is completely different. When you are being re-prioritized, you data is not "slowed" to a certain speed, it is simply placed behind others whose data has not been re-prioritized. This can give the feeling of being throttled but once the data ahead of yours had gone thru, your data speed could possibly go back to normal which is not the case with "safe mode".

I too have experienced Safe Mode, and while slow it is definitely usable.  It is certainly WAY better than having my connection essentially halted by re-prioritization for 5-10 minutes.  It may be longer than 5-10 minutes, because I really don't know how long beyond that because I give up at that point.
