So this violates Net Neutrality...why will the FCC find the time to crack down on this b.s.?
...
isnt this good for the consumers? anything free is good for the consumers.
...
Then again, if it was T-Mobile doing this, all would be well and good. Seems people (for better or worse) are inconsistent on net neutrality.
...
Profound difference in what is going on when comparing T-Mobile and Verizon.
Verizon is exempting their own pay service. T-Mobile isn't doing that.

Also, T-mobile started throttling traffic that had nothing to do with their service. It's possible they both violate Net Neutrality for completely different reasons. Until I understand the specifics of Verizon's service, I'll withhold judgement.
...
T-Mobile throttles video traffic if you want them to. You can opt not to do that

You must have missed the part where I said, "nothing to do with their service." You-tube isn't part of the Binge-On service; and therefore, T-mobile had no reason to throttle it. Period.
...
And you can turn that service, which throttles all video, off. It's up to you.

You missed the point once again. I give up.
...
Then you never read their press releases.
You can turn it on to be able to watch 3X as much video per unit of data. Or you can turn it off and watch 1/3 as much, just as before.
...
True that. @Zpike: I would say, start complaining if you don't have an option to opt out of it.

Ummmmm.... nobody is debating how the service works. The issue is with throttling data that isn't part of the service without the customer's permission. Who gives a rat's ass if the service is turned on or off... it has NOTHING to do with youtube data. So, logically, there is NO reason why T-mobile should throttle youtube data. Why is that so hard to understand? Besides, if I want to watch youtube data at a lower resolution I can ALREADY do that without any help from T-mobile.

Just curious why you think this violates Net Neutrality?
