Streaming throttling
Hi, why is there such throttling of streaming from my mobile device? I’m on a 5G+ plan (with a 15 Pro Max phone), but I can barely watch Twitch or YouTube at 720p. Speedtest always shows 200+ Mbps an...
So after the known thread of Telus throttling mobile data, now YouTube completely stops working, video does not load…
Telus, how many lawsuits you planning on facing 2025?
This is an ACTUAL SCAM you know that right…
Like there is NO WAY this is legal…
And yes I’ve dont troubleshooting, I’m a 13 year IT professional, so please don’t ask.

YouTube works fine for me over cellular after giving it a few moments to load the video. It's better better than it used to be, for me at least. I'm only getting one bar of 5G where I am indoors currently also.
If all you are getting is 15mpbs down, what's the upload speed? Are you indoors or outdoors? Are any other apps or services showing similar issues where you are located?
Btw there shouldn’t be a few seconds to load or rewind a video. Even if you watch it in 4K quality. If you use VPN, it’s almost instantaneous, provided the signal is strong of course. And that’s how it is on Rogers or Freedom networks because they don’t throttle. And Telus network can manage it perfectly fine as well, it’s just that they seem to want to keep the network as uncongested as possible so that speedtest would always show a crazy fast number and they would keep winning the fastest network awards etc. Which is their right, I mean it’s their business. The whole point of this thread, and the CCTS complaint that I made, is that this should be disclosed to the customer before the customer makes a decision to sign the contract. So far the initial CCTS finding btw is that what Telus is doing is legal. Well, nothing I can say if that will be their final finding as well, the law is the law!
THANK U!
Its 2024 almost 2025 with 5G+ you should be getting over 500 mbps CONSISTEMTLY when I'm in DOWNTOWN Edmonton, what a joke company. like my 3G back then worked faster than 5G+ is pathetic
