Netflix admits to throttling video on AT&T & Verizon, says it was to protect viewers
mnbob1 said:As the father of a teenager I'm relieved to know that Netflix had my back. As it is she often uses about 22 GB of our 30 GB monthly plan as it is. How much would she have used without Netflix doing the throttling? AT&T management can skip the outrage when they make streaming services more affordable on their network. Free calls and texting my on their plans aren't an incentive. The world is using data which is easier to provision on the LTE networks and much more efficient. The high monthly fees are ridiculous now that they've updated most of their system and moving to the next level is almost all software. Adding $15 per GB is robbery. My daughter can use that in two days. This month if I didn't shut her down and she continued at the same rate of usage it would double the cost of my monthly bill which has 4 smartphones on it if we used 15 more GB's. Half of what we have on our plan.
Why are they using so much data?
- Do you not have WiFi?
- Do you not explain to your child how to use WiFi at other locations?
- Why exactly is your teenager spending so much time in locations, where ostensibly there is NO WiFi, doing consuming tasks on their device? Does your child literally walk out into the woods every day and use their phone for consumption tasks?
There really is no excuse for this. When your teen is at home, they should be on WiFi. When they are at school, they should be using their phone. When they are at their friend's house, they should be on WiFi. When they are at the mall dicking around, they should be on WiFi. When they are driving around in the car, they shouldn't be watching fucking Netflix.
Please, oh please, try to justify how your child is blowing through data. Because I doubt you can.
