Britain's largest ISP British Telecom has been accused of throttling popular video services like YouTube and the BBC's iPlayer without bothering to inform anyone. Users who sign up for the company's 8Mbps DSL service now find their service throttled back to 896kbps between 5PM and midnight with a specific focus on reducing video content consumption. If you recall, British Telecom is the same carrier that's been hemming and hawing over upgrading their infrastructure to fiber, putting on a show about network upgrades while milking copper for another decade. They've also been part of the whining in the UK by ISPs who think content companies should be subsidizing carrier network builds.
