"Carriers say they’re throttling to manage internet traffic. To deliver the videos people want to watch on their phones, sacrifices in speed are required, according to the three largest U.S. wireless companies"
Moving from the US to Switzerland a few years ago really opened my eyes to how much US wireless carriers were fucking me as a customer.
On Swisscom, my mobile provider, I get unlimited unthrottled data (with tethering!) for ~$99/month. With this I get speeds > 100Mbs on the "good side" of my apartment. And 60Mbs on the "slow side" of my apartment:
I also get these speeds in the Alps.
For another point of comparison Salt (rebranded Orange here), offers a home internet plan of 10 Gbps + 250 TV channels + a free Apple TV for $49 / month.
