Netflix admits to throttling customers

misleading title

It claims that by doing so, it’s saving the data cap of customers on AT&T and Verizon. The company says that it doesn’t throttle T-Mobile or Sprint customers because those carriers have “more consumer-friendly policies.”

The policy is understandable—Netflix doesn’t want people to get shocking data overage bills because of its app—but the secrecy is not.

It is very common to have a netflix stream be downgraded until the stream catches up.

What netflix doesn't do is throttle you based on your subscription plan or tier.

That is the fundamental tenet of net neutrality. That everyones connection has equal access regardless of ISP or pricing plan.
