Do you mind ATT "throttling" next year?

[Hieveryone]

I think it says here that ATT is going to make video 480p by default unless you opt out?

I have unlimited data, but I've never been able to tell too big a difference between 720 and 480 on the iphone.

What are your thoughts about this?

I personally don't see an issue as long as it's optional.

 

[Hieveryone]

True Glad its optional. Might be good for users.

This really won't impact me because I rarely stream video over cellular data. The only thing I stream everyday is music, and I don't believe that will be affected.

I'll just be simply opting out, thanks to the grandfathered UDP.

Am I the only one who never watches video on LTE? May be because I have a tiered plan but I do have 16 GB (we average 8GB/mo usage). But yeah, I'll wait till I get home, or to college, or to work (no... of course not!), or church, or ... anywhere that has WiFi before watching a video.

Unlimited here. I'll be opting out.

I do watch videos on LTE. Not all the time, but if I'm out and about and a video comes up, I watch it. Only if I want to see it on a larger screen so I think about waiting to get home or to my iPad. Wifi doesn't enter into my thinking.

Usually a large corporation will not tell you there is a way to save money. Throttling my media by default to save me money? How nice of them.

I'm a wifi kinda guy, so it won't affect me too much.

On t mobile we have had binge on which has been doing this for awhile and on a phone I do not notice a difference myself.
