What is the messaging they're displaying to Verizon customers?

Instead of the normal "buffering" message, they were apparently displaying something to the effect of "sorry, it looks like Verizon's network is congested" for Verizon customers.

Verizon network is crowded right now. Adjusting video for smoother playback.

Should be "degrading image for smoother playback". We know that's what's happening; do most people?

Even if they don't, they will be annoyed enough at seeing the message that says they have to wait.
