Access to information like you describe would be very useful in a free market, but the ISP market is not.

If I get a report from my ISP outlining how they throttled me, how am I supposed to act on that information?

You'll get the "vote with your wallet" speech. Which for most people, and like myself, your only other option in order to do just that is to buy an LTE wifi or get satellite internet.

Exactly. It's damn near impossible to vote with your wallet when your choices are Comcast or nothing.
