Only in their TOS change, not in response to the lawsuit.

They don't admit that they specifically reduce a person's movie rental
ability, only that favoritism in choosing what movies ship is shown to
those who rent less movies per month. In other words, the only reason
you may not get all the movies you want is because somebody else is in
line before you because you have already gotten a lot this month.

The "throttling" claims also always include claims that Netflix
intentionally delays movie check-in, doesn't ship out movies
immediately, and has actual limits on how much somebody can get in
a month. Although all of these claims may be true, none of them were
admitted by Netflix.
