No. As explained to me and confirmed by doing a multitude of on-line research (making sure this wasn't "too good to be true") the only throttling that occurs is at the 2o gig limit. After putting it through its paces the last several months I have experience no throttling, regardless of when or where I was.
I found it interesting, the day I switched over, how quick and seamless the porting process was. It was explained to me that Xfinity and Verizon have a very close working relationship.
I think this is a win/win for both companies. As more and more people cut the cord for TV services, Xfinity has found a nice "hook" to at least keep customers tethered at home with their internet service. And while Verizon loses direct customers due to the price break, they still retain the same customer, albeit at an arm's length, instead of losing them completely to a third party carrier.
I really think Comcast/Xfinity is thinking far ahead, knowing that it some cases being tied to cable is going away, and getting in on the ground floor of completely wireless services is the wave of the future (especially with 5G rapidly approaching).....
