Its both good and disheartening to know that the throttling is not citywide and that you are able to hop servers to keep things running. It’s good in that they obviously don’t have the computing power to block the whole city yet. I’m just miffed that I got selected for the special treatment...

However in my case the <1Mb throttling is across all servers, all providers, so hopping doesn’t help. It may be of interest to note that a few hours every other day I’m able to connect with full speed, presumably when their blocking tech is down for maintenance.
