If you set your streaming video to 360p or 480p then that post was not aimed at you, it was aimed at people who stream in HD. Not everyone is as "kind" as you.
For those with 4G devices streaming in HD, the quality would simply be lowered DURING any throttling period and then restored to HD afterwards.
As has been mentioned MANY times before, this is nowhere as draconian as the throttling currently taking place on 3G devices whose throttling continues until the end of the billing cycle. The new measures have been described as ending as soon as the congestion ends.
"And just how would u get "real internet" in a mobile 5th wheel home?"
1. Public/private WiFi.
2. Satellite broadband.
Not saying either of these would be a better choice, just saying they are options. Neither would work while driving of course, but hopefully you are not driving and trying to watch HD Netflix at the same time. 
Be careful of their throttling policy.
However since the government follows thru with everything they say(or claim) we MUST live in a perfect world.

Please I did not have dinner yet!
Nope, as I stated before which you misunderstood, the throttling DOES NOT continue until the end of the billing cycle. It ends when you leave a congested tower OR the tower is no longer congested. AT THAT TIME, the throttling stops.
You are correct that the POSSIBILITY of ADDITIONAL throttling can happen at any time UNTIL the end of the billing cycle when on a congested tower, however in no way did I say that was not the case. The "throttling" itself, though, DOES NOT continue until the end of the billing cycle.
I agree, you are doing nothing wrong. If the throttling protocol goes into effect on October 1, Verizon will be doing nothing wrong, either.
We shall see.

But I don't get a limited amount of data for the same price I pay for unlimited. Like the fool in the store tried to say I was saving money since I don't even use a gigabyte per month. As I pointed out only a fool can see unlimited data at $29.99 versus 2 GB of data at $29.99 is not saving. You are actually paying the same for less.
Yet, this is not even what I am talking about. I kept unlimited data when Verizon introduced tiered data plans as it would NOT save me any money. To give up unlimited data without getting anything in return simply did nothing for me. It would have actually been an increase in my bill as Verizon did not apply corporate discounts to a 2GB data tier, you had to have a minimum of a 5GB data tier for corporate discounts to kick in, however corporate discounts remained for unlimited data, yet only on the primary line. At the time, I said people would be crazy to give up unlimited data without any incentive. I still think so. The incentive for me is the $40/month(~$500/year) reduction in my bill. My incentive actually increased when Verizon lowered the data prices on the More Everything plan. Chances are the data prices may fall again in the future, increasing my savings.
Yes, if Verizon still required each line to get its own data plan, I would still have unlimited data. That is not the case, though. I have "shared" data with my 4 lines sharing a pool of data. As a result, I am paying LESS each month because of the switch for a total of ~$1000 since the switch. This does not count the ~$400 phone discounts I receive for signing a contract each time.
