For the most part, carriers sell unlimited, then throttle heavy users. While it's not honest, they're also not upselling those users on super unlimited plans. This makes me think carriers genuinely don't have the capacity for all this video. Without an upsell path, if they had the bandwidth, there'd by no incentive to throttle.
