T-Mobile:<p><i>“T-Mobile utilizes streaming video optimization technology throughout its network to help customers stretch their high-speed data while streaming video.”</i><p>EFF:<p><i>T-Mobile seems to be arguing that downgrading video quality is not actually throttling, but we disagree. &quot;Throttling&quot; means that when a video stream hits T-Mobile&#x27;s network, its bandwidth is capped. If the video provider&#x27;s server has the capability to adapt the quality of the video, then the server can do that—but it is the video provider that is using &quot;adaptive video technology,&quot; not T-Mobile. In other words, T-Mobile just constrains the bandwidth, and it&#x27;s up to video providers to make sure their videos stream smoothly.<p>This isn&#x27;t semantics—it&#x27;s apples and oranges.<p>If T-Mobile wanted to give its customers more choice, it would have made Binge On opt-in, not opt-out. And if Binge On was really about helping customers stretch their data, then T-Mobile wouldn’t have automatically enabled Binge On for customers with unlimited data. They would also zero-rate all videos they throttle, not just the videos of providers who have enrolled.</i><p>- <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.eff.org&#x2F;deeplinks&#x2F;2016&#x2F;01&#x2F;binge-lite-ask-truth-about-t-mobile-video-throttling" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.eff.org&#x2F;deeplinks&#x2F;2016&#x2F;01&#x2F;binge-lite-ask-truth-a...</a>
