Abstract
A telematics controller is programmed to identify a location responsive to detecting a failed data call from a vehicle, and if the location is within a geographic boundary of a failure zone within a cellular tower region and a cause of the failure matches a recorded cause for the failure zone, initiate data throttling until the vehicle moved outside of the geographic boundary.
