You're welcome.   Sorry I couldn't give you better news.  Trust me, there have been times I would have liked to go into FAP just to see what it's like, as in to see if I could still watch Youtube or even stream in SD, or just to see what my speeds are like, but I would have to burn through my Token data to do so, and I don't want to have to do that. 

 

Who knows?  Maybe for the future they'll consider some type of "switch" that would allow us to decide whether to use our Token data or be in FAP.  One can only hope.  It would be nice, that's for sure.
