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...
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!

Depending on your data plan speeds will be reduced when you exceed a particular amount of data. As per Telus:
Data speeds reduced to a maximum of 512Kbps after your included high-speed data bucket is exhausted. Speed may vary with your device, internet traffic, environmental conditions, and other factors.
