🔒 Why You Need a VPN
🎮 What ISP Throttling Is
Throttling happens when your Internet Service Provider (ISP) deliberately slows down your connection during certain activities.
Common triggers include:
Streaming video (Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, Drivemob, LimePie, etc.)
Online gaming or large downloads
Big data transfers (torrents, cloud backups, updates)
ISPs do this to “manage bandwidth,” reduce congestion, or push you into paying for a more expensive plan. The result? Lagging streams, buffering, and slow downloads.
🚀 How a VPN Helps
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) hides your online activity from your ISP.
Your provider can’t see what you’re streaming or downloading.
Since they can’t detect what you’re doing, they can’t selectively slow you down.
This means smoother streaming, faster downloads, and lag-free gaming.
