How to Test and Stop it from ISP etc.?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><em><i>If your internet connection suddenly becomes slower than before or it just freezes when streaming (HD\/4K Netflix or other) media files, playing online games, downloading or uploading large-sized materials on the web, you are probably encounter the known \u201cInternet Throttling\u201d\u00a0thing&#8230;<\/i><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><b>Internet throttling<\/b><\/strong>, literally called \u201c<strong><b>bandwidth throttling<\/b><\/strong>\u201d, may be an unfamiliar term to most of common netizens. But when you finish a few typical examples below, you will suddenly be enlightened, so this is the internet or say bandwidth throttling.<\/p>\n<p>Example 1: <em><i>Your internet speed seems to be a lot slower than what it should be all of a sudden.<\/i><\/em><br \/>Example 2: <em><i>You can watch HD\/4K Netflix or other streaming media files smoothly before and now the high-definition streaming becomes laggy and you usually end up with watching the lower-resolution video, gaining the fluency by sacrificing the quality unexpectedly. \u00a0<\/i><\/em><br \/>Example 3: <em><i>Recently you just found you are unable to download or upload things as fast as before, say when sharing and downloading p2p files, downloading and playing (<a href=\"https:\/\/pandavpnpro.com\/blog\/steam-vpn-chagne-steam-country\">Steam<\/a>) online games etc.<\/i><\/em><\/p>\n<p>In fact, just as the examples hint, <strong><b>streaming<\/b><\/strong>, <strong><b>gaming<\/b><\/strong>, and (p2p) <strong><b>file download sharing<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0are three key targets of bandwidth throttling for their higher possibilities of traffic eating. It\u2019s easy to understand that they usually use more bandwidth data than general web browsing due to quite large-sized media or other types of files need to be transmit and rendered to the people in front of the screen.<\/p>\n<h2>What\u2019s Internet\/Bandwidth &amp; ISP Throttling?<\/h2>\n<p>After completing the paragraphs above, it\u2019s easier for you to get clear on the <strong><b>definition of internet\/bandwidth\/network throttling<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; an intentional behavior of slowing down the internet connection speed via bandwidth from ISPs or other parties, without notifying you in advance or afterward. Yep, the ISP throttling refers in particular to the internet speed reduction from the internet service providers.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, ISPs like Spectrum and Xfinity perform bandwidth throttling or say limitation <strong><b>at network management level<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0while the \u201cother parties\u201d\u00a0may implement it <strong><b>at application software level<\/b><\/strong>, be it a client or a (ftp\/web) server. As to the legality, you most probably will take both of them as legal activities. As a matter of fact, only the app level of throttling is legal whereas ISP\u2019s throttling is de facto illegal. That\u2019s because in view of <strong><b>network neutrality<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0(aka net neutrality), the ISPs should guarantee all users equal internet communications, not discriminating from users, operations, target online resources, apps, ways of communication, etc. Not only the intentional slowdown is included in net neutrality, but also content access blocking, and the different charges are here for fair treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Since what influences the common users are mainly the ISP throttling, the following part will be focused on it for more details.<\/p>\n<h2>Why (ISP) Internet Throttling Occurs and How It Works?<\/h2>\n<p>Imagine that there are so many ISPs around the world, and considering their actual market shares and long-term expectations, each ISP must have a vast but still limited amount of bandwidth. It\u2019s also possible for an ISP to sell out its bandwidth if it doesn\u2019t work well as expected.<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned above, network neutrality doesn\u2019t advocate ISPs to do unequal things when distributing their bandwidth to a broad range of users. However, since individuals are often unable to fight them back, they just shape the <strong><b>network congestion management<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0rules and throttle the speed in their own ways.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pandavpnpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/isp-throttles-network-usage.jpg\" alt=\"How ISP Throttles Bandwidth\" width=\"700\" height=\"381\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1714\" srcset=\"https:\/\/panwchi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/isp-throttles-network-usage.jpg 700w, https:\/\/panwchi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/isp-throttles-network-usage-300x163.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Set <strong><b>Spectrum<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0(the internet service from US-based telecommunication company Charter Communications) for example, according to its network management support article, to offer all consumers the fastest download &amp; upload speeds, the most reliable internet service, as well as to ensure the could enjoy the best user experience and \u201cfair share\u201d\u00a0of network resources, it just implements network congestion management. Whenever the congestion happens during the peak hours, in some specific areas maybe, it will <strong><b>restrict the speed of those accounts who use the most amounts of bandwidth<\/b><\/strong>. How are these accounts found out and confirmed? Absolutely, the ISP does monitor and track users\u2019\u00a0traffic all the way. But it claims that it simply monitors the overall use data, but not the traffic details. (More about <a href=\"https:\/\/pandavpnpro.com\/blog\/stop-isp-tracking\">ISP Tracking<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>You may wonder is there any criterion for what accounts will be selected to reduce the speed? Not exactly because no ISP elaborates it at length, only telling that accounts with long-lasting download, upload, gaming or so are more possible to receive this speed limit treatment. Some estimate that the users who are getting internet management at the rush-hours is less than 1% of all. Surely this may also vary from service to service and provider to provider. What\u2019s more, once the congestion ends, everything goes back to normal.<\/p>\n<h2>Is Your Internet Being Throttled by ISP? Internet Throttling Test Tools Shared<\/h2>\n<p>Many internet investigating agencies have done online behavior reports annually.
