And at 4G speeds, a user will hit the data ceiling much quicker.
I smell a class-action lawsuit in big red's future.
To 'throttle' simply means to slow your download speed during peak hours so other people will be able to use it.
These customers will not be cut off.
They will not be charged anything extra.
They will not be in any way disadvantaged, harmed or even mildly inconvenienced.
In fact, unless you were told, you would likely not even NOTICE that you were being throttled in first place. There is simply now way you could possibly tell the difference between 5mbps and 10 or 15 mbps and if you claim you can, I don't believe it.
