MetroPCS is T-Mobile under different branding. T-Mobile is fairly open about their throttling practices (you have to purchase their "ONE Plus" plan to have un-throttled video), but MetroPCS puts it in their rather long "Network Disclosure"[0]: "All current MetroPCS plans include video optimization features that are always enabled, which, when connected to the cellular network, deliver a DVD quality (typically 480p) video experience at up to 1.5 Mbps with minimal buffering while streaming ("Data Maximizer"). Customers may, for an additional charge, add on a native resolution video feature, disabling optimization for their device. Some qualifying video providers may choose to self-optimize their video content or opt-out of the Data Maximizer program."
