Are Telstra (Bigpond), Australia's largest Internet Service Provider deliberately throttling (capping) Youtube bandwidth on all of their plans? (even the best Bigpond Cable Elite plan)

UPDATE: The day after I posted this video Telstra contacted me and finally admitted the problem was systemic across all users and said they would fix, they did a few days later.
