YouTube says all video traffic is being throttled by T-Mobile, even if you opt out of Binge On

A YouTube spokesperson told the Wall Street Journal that T-Mobile is throttling all video traffic to its subscribers, whether or not you opted out of Binge On.

Binge On is T-Mobiles newest Un-Carrier movement that gives customers the freedom to stream video from any of the approved video services without counting against your monthly data allowance.

T-Mobile is receiving a lot of flak from net neutrality supporters deeming that T-Mobile is treating data unfairly and not providing internet that is fair for all internet services.

Magenta hasnt yet replied to the accusations made by YouTube, but it has said that customers are really enjoying Binge On and customers love having free streaming video that never hits their data bucket.

The problem here lies with T-Mobile degrading all other video traffic and not notifying the customer of whats going on. We have seen situations like these end up in FCC fines *cough* AT&T *cough* where the carrier was throttling its subscribers without their knowledge.
