In light of this report, Verizon to begin throttling its highest data users

would the data throttling hack effectively counter verizon's bandwidth control?

There was a thread where people were discussing whether the hack really worked or was just placebo.

SO FAR, THIS HAS ONLY BEEN KNOWN TO WORK ON T-MOBILE USA AND CANADA BELL... ALL OTHER CARRIERS SEEM TO HAVE THESE FILES JUST BECAUSE IT'S A STANDARD IN ANDROID 2.2.1 AND SEEM TO BE CONTROLLED COMPLETELY OTA UNLIKE TMOBILE AND BELL...

I don't know any technical details about what the uncap hack does (or if it even works). If it does work, I'm kinda surprised. And I bet it won't work for very long. At some point, VZW will realize it's dumb to rely on something on the handset to cap data speeds and they'll do it within their infrastructure (if they're not already doing that).
