You are one of the dumbest idiots to ever post on this forum, so I don't even know why I'm debating this with you.
From the article you posted:
Verizon said the department had chosen an unlimited data plan that gets throttled to speeds of 200kbps or 600kbps after using 25GB a month but that Verizon failed to follow its policy of "remov[ing] data speed restrictions when contacted in emergency situations."
This is not a NN issue because it involved the ISP throttling a customer's use of the entire ISP service (meaning every single thing on their devices was throttled from YouTube to GFY to FTP servers to IRC). This would potentially be a NN issue had the fire department been using Facebook messenger to communicate and Verizon throttled Facebook messenger for all of their customers. But that's not anywhere near what happened.
