Called. Told them to turn it off. Other customers should do the same. It's not fair to prioritize traffic on the public internet. Small businesses suffer.

Amusingly, this doesn't prioritize. It simply throttles all video streams to < 1.5Mbps (dvd quality).

Arguably by selectively only "optimizing" their opted-in providers wouldn't they be in a position where they're making some streams "faster" (not to mention free) and open to action by the FCC?

I build robots with video streaming and use my phone to view the streams. I do not want my carrier messing with that. At all. It's mine. No touchy.
Fine, then opt-out of BingeOn. Just the same as before. Of course that means no free video streaming from a number of other sites (480p max).
You could always encrypt!
So is T-Mobile an ISP, or are they are a cellular carrier? Are they considered the same thing now?
They are my cellular ISP.
