Interesting are the title of the news.

MacRumor: Carriers are throttling iPhone and iPad speed
CNET: Apple is throttling iPhone and iPad speed

Anand: Apple is not throttling iPhone and iPad speed
MacRumor: Carriers are not throttling iPhone and iPad speed.
Interesting how the subjet is changed site to site.
Just saying, that everybody seems not to understand that you can throttle on both device and server side. So Apple not throttling on the device doesn't means that the carriers are not on their back end.
It's very easy to know which device is connected and set some QoS rules on each of them. Network 101.
I am amazed how fast web sites dropped the case about it...

Your right sir.

The headline is misleading. AnandTech says Apple, not the carriers, have anything in the carrier bundles that would throttle the iPhone.
But can the carriers throttle based on the ID it reads off the phone when it's connecting to a tower for access? I would imagine that's is technically possible to do. My phone has the same carrier bundle as every AT&T iPhone out there, but as an unlimited data user, once I get to a certain limit I can and will be throttled. I imagine different parameters can be set by the carrier to throttle down any user based on various specifications.
Your right sir.
