Re: [Chatter] "Where everybody knows your name ..."
Wow, VZW started throttling LTE users?
And how's it hangin', chatter? Haven't been in for a while. Been busier than a one-legged man in an a$$-kicking contest.
Also played a bunch of Ingress on my commutes.
The C-Block spectrum rulings are the ones that outlined carriers' restrictions on throttling data and discriminating against data usage scenarios (tethering, etc.). To the best of my knowledge, there is
one exception which allows throttling.
If the carrier can support, by means of specific evidence, that an individual's network usage is causing significant and noticeable network strain on a single tower or network line to the point that it will likely have a detrimental or disruptive impact on other users connected through said network point, the carrier may take action to restore a balance to that network point without disrupting service to the offending user.
Don't quote me on it, but that's my understanding. I read up on this stuff for hours, both for work and for personal interest.
