    It has though. Traffic shaping is common, especially on mobile networks where video streams and VPN traffic will get deprioritized and throttled to force lower resolution playback for certain services. Many mobile ISPs are actually pretty open that they do this. In other cases this stuff is done quietly enough that you don’t really notice it is happening. Mobile operators get away with it because people are almost trained to expect mobile networks to be flaky.
