    Internet providers have more or less been given permission to throttle and be selective all they want, due to the Supreme courts recent rulings. Before that, they at least tried to hide it.

    Run your stuff through a good vpn and you might d8scover all of your problems disappear. It sure as heck does on t-mobile.

      Why does tmobile not throttle your traffic when it’s running through a VPN as well?

        Most providers will just try to control specific sites to save on bandwidth. If they did it to all sites then they couldn’t claim they have X speed. They’ll even try to give extra bandwidth if you go to well known speed testing websites.

        When going through a vpn, they don’t know what websites and data your requesting, so it’s outside their parameters they have set up to throttle.
