Didn't know there was a conspiracy. Though that doesn't mean there isn't one.
When the Iphone first came out I got one. And it was awesome. I also had a fully unlimited plan. No limits on calls, texts, data etc. This plan wasn't offered for to long, but as I had it already, it was sort of grandfathered and I kept it till I stopped driving. Fast forward a bit, I noticed my speeds for worse as the month went by. Turns out I was labeled as a data hog, and when a cap was hit each month, the internet speeds were throttled down. Eventually they got in some trouble for it, paid some fines, but more or less got away with it. As it took a long time in court, and those that were being screwed over had moved on. Only the lawyers got paid in this scenario. But when I talked about how my internet was slower back then, people thought it was just in my head.
