No, that was phased out when they merged infrastructures with Microsoft’s existing, post-merge.
Anyone know why they phased that out? Seems like a performance benefit and not many downsides I can think about warranting removal.

#12What are the current net neutrality rules in the US? Can they really do this, or is anyone (maybe in some states like California) regulating them?

#13I sure hope the FTC does something about this!

Mobile devices get hot and have bad battery life if they become supernodes, and are obviously not reliable.

Another agency, the FCC, was founded on the premise that we need to ensure some communicators don't degrade the communications of others unintentionally. Spectrum needs management.
It's funny we lack the same conviction when ITCs actively degrade each other...

#17My Zoom meetings via CenturyLink have become progressively worse since Net Neutrality bit the dust. Anyone else feel the same?

#18Does Sprint sell video chat? I don't understand the anticompetitveness angle. Voice calls are free on cell phone networks, and Skype users pay for data. How would Sprint profit from giving its users a bad Skype experience?
Something doesn't add up.

Use Zoom a lot. Haven’t noticed anything. Have Fiber if it matters.

I've had Centurylink for years (fiber and DSL) and they consistently seem to throttle most video sites. Netflix/youtube has always been hit or miss. If you ask about this on reddit or dslreports you immediately get shills claiming that they would never do that / it's impossible. Weird.
Using a VPN always fixes the issue.
