But the report notes that it's possible they missed some throttling. The Northeastern University researchers found no evidence that major home internet providers in the US, including Comcast, throttle content. This app fails to account for a user’s choice of settings or plan that may affect speeds.” AT&T did not respond to questions about why the company believes that video connection caps on Unlimited & More plans don't count as discrimination based on content. "We offer customers choice, including speeds and features to manage their data. "We don't throttle, discriminate, or degrade network performance based on content," the statement says. But in a statement, an AT&T spokesperson disputed the study's findings. A spokesperson for Washington’s attorney general declined to comment on whether carriers violate state net neutrality law.ĪT&T's website acknowledges that it caps video connections on its Unlimited & More service at 1.5 Mbps. Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon did not respond to requests for comment. The FCC didn't press the issue before the rules went out of effect. Verizon has previously argued that its resolution restrictions fall under this loophole because most people can't actually perceive the difference between different resolutions on small smartphone screens. However, the FCC's old rules and the newer California and Washington state net neutrality rules allow internet providers to reduce connection speeds for "reasonable network management" purposes.
