I’m reminded of a comment I read a few days ago from someone that has their own small isp that said bandwidth was basically an inconsequential cost for them. Throttling like this is penny pinching of the highest order. How do we get the benefits of competition if every company is doing it?

- wbl 7y agoShannon-Hartley is a harsh mistress. There is only so much wireless capacity especially when you have a bunch of phones close to each other.

- woah 7y agoBandwidth to the internet is inconsequential. Bandwidth to your home (or phone) is the entire service the ISP is providing. Throttling saves on both.
- BubRoss 7y agoCable companies and wireless companies want to keep selling you your data multiple times. Internet fast enough for video eats in to selling you video. Wireless internet that can use WhatsApp for mms means you won't pay extra for more texts.
