Binge On hasn"t been without its critics. Back in January, the EFF accused the Uncarrier of violating Net Neutrality rules. Part of the problem was that T-Mobile was throttling all video traffic, rather than just partners". In March, the company allowed for companies to opt-out of the service.
However, in T-Mobile"s press release today, the firm noted that 100% of existing Binge On partners found that joining the service was "neutral or easy", with 79% saying it was easy or very easy. Content providers are enjoying the service as well, with 80% saying that customers watch longer, and 45% of partners that offer paid subscriptions expect to sell more because of the service.
