TL;DR
ISP throttling is the deliberate slowing of your internet by your provider. Rocket Proxy encrypts your traffic so your ISP can't see your stream to throttle it.
The Hidden Speed Brake
ISP throttling occurs when your Internet Service Provider restricts your bandwidth. Unlike a technical outage, this is a conscious choice made by their network management software.
Why Do ISPs Throttle?
- Network Congestion: During peak hours, ISPs slow down heavy users.
- Targeting Services: Providers target high-bandwidth traffic like OTT streaming.
- Data Caps: Speeds are slashed if you hit hidden thresholds.
