I wonder though if overall user performance would be worse if they didn't throttle - carriers may think (correctly or incorrectly) it is their best option for the capacity/throughput issues they have?
Can't wait to a future of non-monopoly/duopoly wireless last mile...
To be fair, the carriers aren't the only ones being misleading or opaque. Apple quite happily chips in (with a good second-long shot of their logo, no less) for the already blatantly false ads declaring "iPhone on the fastest network [AT&T]".
No transparency, as usual, from those carriers.
