Binge onLess then 2 weeks ago I switched to T-Mobile from Verizon and I love it. However one thing I realized was that my YouTube videos wouldn't go over 200 KB/so then I posted on howardforums and people suggested I could have binge on turned on and indeed it was ( i have unlimited add on line for 40$ ).
After I turned it off if was all good ever since,I mainly use only youtube background play to listen to music. |

And it begins...Hopefully there will be more major companies filing complaints against these providers Zero Rating applications. It's possible it may nip that practice in the bud before it blossoms into full blown disregard for net neutrality.
In my opinion zero rating is a net neutrality violation and providers are testing the waters to see how far they can go. |

Missing detailsIf you guys go back and read the original Binge On press release it specifically stated that even for video services that were not signed on, they'd still be throttled accordingly with Binge On enabled. Says it in black and white. Apparently everyone here and Google as well seem to have completely missed that.
FYI I am not an apologist for any side in this case but am just pointing out facts. And if you have a problem with it, it's dead simple to disable. Turn off the Binge On option and you can watch at full 1080p if you wish at the trade of consuming much more bandwidth. Take your pick. |

Noticed this as well.When Binge On started, watching a YouTube video via like Facebook did nothing but buffer like it was being throttled to 480p. Once I have turned off Binge On, this has gone away so they are doing something with the traffic. |

If this accusation was against AT&T or Verizon...It's bad when AT&T and Verizon do this but apparently OK when T-Mobile does it? |
