I&#x27;m not sure how I feel about this.<p>I mean, Binge On is obviously targeted at customers who have limited data plans and seem likely to go over their cap if they watch video normally. Many (most?) streaming sites don&#x27;t provide fine-grained control over what quality is delivered to your device. Seems like a lot still just differentiate between &quot;normal&quot; and &quot;HD&quot;. So it seems to me like T-Mobile is trying to help their limited customers out by lowering the bandwidth on videos so that data is used up a slower rate. I personally have an unlimited data plan, so I can&#x27;t even provide anecdotal evidence, but if I had a limited plan, I think I would appreciate that.<p>Once bitrate management is in place, throttling doesn&#x27;t seem like a big deal. As long as I am still being delivered data at a rate &gt; the rate at which I am consuming the video (i.e. as long as there is no buffering) then there isn&#x27;t really a problem, right?<p>If you disagree with T-Mobile&#x27;s decision to choose what bitrate is good for you, then yeah, I understand, this sucks. If, on the other hand, you are OK with this, then I don&#x27;t really think there is an issue.<p>What I think would be the best option would be for T-Mobile to have some sort of control panel that customers could use to pick a bitrate cap for all videos that they watch on their mobile plan. Seems like that could please both parties if they started with a fairly restrictive default setting but users could change it.
