Comcast starts throttling mobile video, will charge extra for HD streams
| nly customers who pay by the gigabyte will get full-speed tethering, but the cost would add up quickly as Comcast charges $12 for each gigabyte.
>Comcast's Xfinity Mobile service is imposing new speed limits on video watching and personal hotspot usage, and the company will start charging extra for high-definition video over the cellular network.
| The short version is that videos will be throttled to 480p (DVD quality) on all Comcast mobile plans unless you pay extra, while Comcast's "unlimited" plan will limit mobile hotspot speeds to 600kbps. Only customers who pay by the gigabyte will get full-speed tethering, but the cost would add up quickly as Comcast charges $12 for each gigabyte.

Any non trump supporter is also a cuckold my intelligent friend. Doesn't matter whether you voted for your wife getting blacked, you still get to watch.
| I mean 480 is enough for mobile phones. I dont like how easy they just can decide this though

Cool nonsequiter you passive aggressive cunt.
Trump put in Ajit Pai
Ajit pai is a corporate tool for rich elites
Trump supporters said "trump isn't with the rich elites"
Trump supports banning internet
Trump cucks cheer it on while they pay more for their internet and have their taxes go to those corporations for kick backs
Just facts.

Just facts: don't support companies that have policies you don't like. Put your money where your mouth is instead of running to daddy government to solve your problems for you. Typical libtard response. But no, I doubt you would last a day without social media to whine on so having a spine is out of the question.

Don't really have much choice when you only have one company in your area

I have yet to see an area in USA that has no cell coverage and no satellite reception. You fell for the meme.
