T-Mobile is throttling video traffic? How to avoid throttling?

Last month, T-Mobile's announced 'Binge On' program, a free video streaming service that doesn't use up our data. The program currently supports the following platforms: HBO, Netflix, Hulu, Sling,Fox Sports, and with more to follow. While YouTube refuses to make itself available to this program because it throttling video services and degrades video quality.

Bing On reduces data charges, meanwhile, it throttling video traffic as well. Binge On is active by default for all T-Mobile customers, and must be manually turned off. If a T-Mobile customer opts out of Binge On, all video will count against their data plan. Customers don't have granular control over which services they want to use for Binge On, either.

How ISP throttle traffic?

T-Mobile has made some big changes in the last few years, but the way it manages data caps has worried some net neutrality advocates. It's common that ISPs throttle and cap internet for customers. ISPs have access to all your traffic, able to track all the websites you visit, all the files you download, and all the movies you stream. They sort it based on the type of data and the ports used to access the data. Then these ports can be automatically assigned to be throttled.
ISP commonly throttle:

• Video Streaming sites like Netflix, Hulu, and Youtube
• Online Gaming and MMRPG
• File-sharing software and BitTorrent

How to prevent Data throttling?

• The easiest way to prevent traffic throttling is connect to another Internet tunnel - VPN. It will encript all the data and send them through another tunnel, which will prevent your internet provider from being able to read your internet traffic.
• Another way is to keenly monitor your data usage. Find out exactly how much your data plan provides. Android 4.0 and above already features a data usage monitor offering several ways to track data usage. Apple iOS also offers a way, albeit not very useful, to monitor your data usage by going to - Settings - General - Usage - Cellular Usage. 
• Root Your Android Device, Modify the ROM & Delete the "Throttle Services" Files.
• Activate Chrome browser's data compression, go to Settings - Bandwidth Management - Reduce data usage. 

Where to watch the previous Star Wars movies before The Force Awakens

The premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens took place on Monday afternoon in Los Angeles. A half-mile section of Hollywood Boulevard was closed to traffic for event of this highly anticipated film. Star Wars: The Force Awakens is not available online for streaming in a legitimate capacity now. So before it comes, it's perfect to revisit the classic Star Wars movies. While, Star Wars movies are not available on Netflix or Hulu. Then where can I watch Star Wars?

The Classic Trilogy featuring A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

Disney now owns Star Wars but has been keeping the streaming rights close to the vest. There isn't a legitimate service yet that has access to the original Star Wars Trilogy streaming online. Star Wars Rebels is available to stream on DisneyXD's Site and App. Or you can purchase the Star Wars DVDs or Blu-Rays to eliminate the need for streaming. Purchase this set from Amazon in a bundle for under a hundred bucks or so.

How to prevent cyber crime

UK's National Crime Agency (NCA) launched a new campaign aimed at cutting cyber crime, especially amongst young people. It means to warn teen about the dangers of hacking and using online tools for cyber-attacks. Meanwhile, this campaign educates parents about the dangers of cyber crime after analysis of hacking investigations found the average age of suspects to be 17-years-old  from the past year.

One of the common forms of cyber-crime is distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks that can knock out websites by flooding them with data. Younger hackers have also increasingly used software called Remote Access Trojans (RATs) that allow people to remotely monitor and take full control of another computer. 

Warning signs of cyber crime listed by NCA

• Is your child spending all of their time online?
• Are they interested in coding? Do they have independent learning material on computing?
• Do they have irregular sleeping patterns?
• Do they get an income from their online activities, do you know why and how?
• Are they resistant when asked what they do online?
• Do they use the full data allowance on the home broadband?
• Have they become more socially isolated?

According to the signs, we're basically all cyber criminals. I think the things teens would do on the Web is overshare on Twitter and Facebook, post on Instagram, text and listen to EDM on Spotify or play Star Wars: Battlefront.

We understand the risks associated with cyber crimes. Then how to prevent cyber crimes around us? A VPN stops websites or hackers spying on you by hiding data that could identify you. It's important to connect to VPN when you connect to the Internet from a hotel room, even over a wired connection. Your data stream can be captured by any other user of that network. If you haven't own a VPN, you can wait for Xmas VPN deals.
