I have found my phone on Cricket (owned by AT&T) is surprisingly usable after data cap is reached and you are throttled.

Like, email and even google maps, no problem. Facebook perfectly usable although with some lag. I didn't bother trying to watch videos.

I have been curious if the usability of "throttled" speeds differs between carriers.

Uh-huh. Missing video means the service is unusable.

Oh, is that what people are complaining about? Fair enough, but not important to me. Are all the carriers "throttled" rates good enough to do most things but watch videos then?
