Big proponents of Net Neutrality admit to throttling their customers.
Video services do this all the time based on bandwidth.
Youtube videos will reduce in resolution/quality when it detects lower bandwidth. This is the same concept. If they didn't the video would be pausing every 1 second to load.

That's not what this is at all though. If you read the article this is about data usage, not data speed. They don't throttle TMobile and Sprint users, just AT&T and Verizon, who both coincidentally offer home internet and Cable/Satellite TV services. This may have nothing to do with customers at all and just be corporate warfare.
