Is this a net neutrality violation? The article states that they were throttling all video, not just the video from Netflix. As long as they weren't targeting a specific site, couldn't this fall into the category that ISP are allowed to prioritize different types of data. For example, a network may prioritize VOIP traffic over other traffic. Would that be a violation of net neutrality?
According to Tim Wu, absolutely. This example also makes it amazingly clear that discriminating certain types of traffic disproportionately affects certain parties.
Just QAing their systems in preparation for the vote on August 16th.
Anyone think the vote might go the other way? Beuler? Bueler? Ok then, that's depressing.
Pretty sure all 4G networks deprioritize streaming video and occasionally inject TCP resets. It's simple to test by loading the same content from multiple internet connections, then observing that the performance is consistently degraded on one of the connections.
