I could live with a slow down but not an effective "shut down" (eg skype doesn't work, I can read 2 pages of paper text while an email - text only- loads, etc). They say it is nationwide but I've read a number of posts complaining that they just did this in the SF bay area and lots of people have the same complaint of it being unusable.
When I hit 5gb on my T-Mobile data plan I would get a nice text from them telling me I'm throttled; the throttled speeds would be around 28-100kbits in comparison to the 1mbit+ I got with no throttle
