#3I think Time Warner has started doing this now as well. Right after the ruling, Netflix quality was so poor that I bought a new modem. No improvement. I will have to check the other AWS services I use including my own stiff. Thanks for posting.

There is a lot of complexity involved with network connections. There are many plausible alternative explanations for your and the author's problems. One or two people talking about their experience isn't the kind of data you would need to jump to the conclusion that your ISP is throttling your internet connection.

They literally stated that during a support call "we throttle cloud services"
Can anyone set up a "speed test" online on AWS or something similar? This way we can experiment with connections.

if only we had a distributed group of people, all of whom with a vested interest in figuring this out, that could help us with doing speed tests in variety of configurations…

That guy doesn't probably have any idea about what he's talking about. Call center types wouldn't know this and "throttle cloud services" just translates to "throttle the internet." The cloud is the internet.

Unless they were told to specifically say what they did, which seems unlikely, the chance of a first level technical support person having any clue what sort of QoS policy is implemented on the network is basically zero.
That sort of person would not have access to see such things directly and wouldn't have the skill set to interpret configuration.

Totally true, but let's be honest even if the chat representative understood English perfectly and denied up and down that Verizon was throttling, he probably doesn't have the expertise to know one way or the other what is actually happening.
I think the evidence speaks for itself however.
