Internet Throttling (Bandwidth Throttling)

Internet throttling is when is when your internet service provider (ISP) slows down your internet on purpose. 

Providers can legally throttle your Internet speeds to reduce congestion during peak hours or in densely populated cities, but it’s illegal for companies limit their customers’ Internet speeds in a “deceptive or unfair” fashion. Which they do. Often. Constantly. All the time, actually. For, evidently, ‘no clear reason’ as they tend to throttle traffic even when the network is not congested. 

Governments have been found encouraging internet providers to throttle internet in order to censor or limit people. Like in Russia. 

This is why Net Neutrality was such a big f-ing deal. It required internet service providers to offer equal access to all web content.

Ever since net-neutrality was repealed, internet providers have been found to be discriminately slowing and interfering with people’s internet connections, but there has been no prosecution. 

In the US, President Biden wants to restore Net Neutrality. The only possible PROBLEM with that is the current FCC can, will, and wants to come up with new net neutrality rules. So net neutrality might never be what it once was.

If anything, this is a war for who gets to police the internet, broadband companies or governments. 

We’re in the evil timeline.
