Rochester, MI | Throttling I figured AT&T would never throttle U-verse customers since it could screw up their tv service as well as their internet. |

Valencia, CA | There's a few different methods. They're not throttling the connection that comes into the house.
They're using QoS to ensure that TV has higher priority than Internet and capping at 10Mbps vs. dedicated bandwidth (fixed 10Mbps). This has the possibility of allowing extra TV streams AND still giving 10Mbps.
How many TV sets are on all at once? If all sets are on/being watched, then there's a possibility of not having 10Mbps to the consumer. Turn off a set, and that bandwidth is freed up for use by Internet.
It would be nice if that 10Mbps cap wasn't there and recieved 25Mbps when the TVs are off.

Some DRVs still buffer live tv when put in to off mode. |

| When we had U-verse, that was often not the case. In fact, it was rarely the case unless it was recording something. |
