Verizon Says It Was Totally Just Testing How to Throttle Video. After rumors spread on Reddit that Verizon Wireless customers were unable to achieve feeds of faster than 1. Mbps while connected to Netflix, the company confirmed to Ars Technica this week it was conducting “network testing over the past few days to optimize the performance of video applications on our network.”While both Ars Technica and The Verge were able to confirm Verizon Wireless seemed to be capping Netflix speeds at somewhere between 5. Mbps and 1. 0Mbps, the apparent throttling would not necessarily affect most users. On mobile, Netflix should have functioned fine for most users other than those streaming high quality video over a tethered connection.

Some users reported similar throttling of You. Watch Black Beauty Online (2017) here. Tube video, though again at a 1. Mbps rate which allowed high quality streaming. Just a few months ago, Verizon claimed its new unlimited data plan wouldn’t throttle video — at least until users hit 2. GB of data. For its part, the company told Ars Technica the video throttling was “across the board” and affected its own video streaming services, not just third- party services.
