The article addresses common reasons for slow internet connections, identifying throttling by internet service providers (ISPs) as a significant contributor. ISPs may deliberately reduce speeds to manage network usage, enforce data caps, or steer customers toward their services by slowing competitor offerings. This practice is often used to apply pressure on companies to pay for better bandwidth, creating a cycle of cost ultimately felt by consumers. Additionally, while net neutrality aims to prevent such discrimination, many providers still engage in throttling practices without legal repercussions in certain jurisdictions.
Your internet might be slow due to throttling by your ISP, rather than hardware issues, impacting your online experience significantly.
ISPs may throttle connections to manage demands, enforce data caps, or manipulate user behavior towards their services instead of competitors.
Throttling helps ISPs leverage higher payments from companies by slowing down their services, thereby passing costs onto subscribers.
Legal enforcement of net neutrality prohibits such practices unless exceptions are made transparently, yet throttling remains a widespread issue.
