No study needs to be done. The carriers are publicly admitting this on their websites, just go look at their plans.
The more expensive plans have "HD-streaming" of video content. They even tell you X plan gets you 480p and Z plan gets you 720p. What else could this mean other than they are throttling videos?
- Itaxpica 8y agoUsually the fine print will say that these are expected video qualities based on the downstream bandwidth provided, not that they're literally charging you for each specific quality.
- dylan604 8y agoTo the point, I was offered via email a reduction in my monthly bill if I volunteered to have any and all videos streamed to my wireless device force delivered as an SD stream. There was also a separate email offer to lower my monthly fee for home internet connection if I agreed to allow them to inject their own advertising in my network traffic. The problem with all of that, is how do I know they are not doing it anyways? I don't trust these ISPs any further than I can throw them.
- vagab0nd 8y agoI'm curious, how can they inject their data if https is used?
