ISP Throttling: How to Tell If Your ISP Is Throttling You and What to Do About It

It could also be network congestion, or a problem inside your own network. ISP throttling is when your internet service provider intentionally slows your connection based on how much data you use, the type of traffic you send, the time of day, or the plan you’re on. Knowing throttling exists is the easy part. Proving it is harder.
