🔒 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.
