No, I did not. My cell data plan has never preferred one bit over the other.

If you are in the US, there is always a ranking of bits on a mobile network. Perhaps not by your plan specifically, but by the network operator.

Every major plan I've seen has traffic shaping or throttling for streaming, even Google Fi itself for Youtube, their own property.

That's because Google doesn't own the Google Fi infrastructure. They use T-Mobile's.

Lucky you, you must not be on Verizon, AT&T or TMobile
