What is data throttling?
Data throttling is when your internet speed is intentionally slowed down by your phone carrier.
This can sometimes happen when carriers are attempting to manage network congestion. If you have a limited amount of data on your plan or you’re in a high-user, high-traffic area, you might notice that your phone is sluggish and everything is processing slower than usual. Apps could take a long time to load, videos might be buffering, and websites might not appear at all. Some mobile carriers tend to prioritize customers with higher-tier (a.k.a. more expensive) data plans.
If you need a reliable way to avoid throttling, a prepaid eSIM is a great option.
