Note this is Verizon Wireless, the cell service company - not Verizon Fios, the home ISP company. They are both under Verizon Communications, but as far as I can tell this "test" only affected wireless customers.
But really...it's still pretty good so I don't care enough? This is probably why they do it.
So what exactly does "do something about it" mean in this circumstance? Is your download rate actually saturating your throttled connection?
