Anyone know if MVNOs like Ting get the same throttling?
- 4ad 9y agoTing is not on Verizon. Verizon doesn't have many MVNOs, last I checked all Verizon MVNOs came with lots of caveats that made them unsable for me at the time. FWIW, I chose Ting, no traffic shaping whatsoever and no artificial limits of any kind. Of course, T-Mobile and Sprint might do their own traffic shaping, but as a previous T-Mobile customer, this doesn't seem to be the case. It works better for me now on Ting than it used to work before on T-Mobile. No throttling, no video degradation, no bullshit. Definitely recommended. Unfortunately worse coverage then Verizon though, at least where I need it.
- ikeboy 9y agoThe article claims that all major carriers do something similar, so I'm wondering whether MVNOs are exempt.
- 4ad 9y agoPossibly depends on the MVNO and the type of contract they got with the MNO. On Ting you are definitely exempt, other MVNOs, not so sure. However, my understanding is that MVNO traffic has lower priority in the MNO traffic shaping, so you get affected if there's congestion.
