   T-Mobile throttling is frustrating, but it can be easily resolved by   
   using a Virtual Private Network (VPN). Here’s everything you need to   
   know to get started.   
      
   Throttling is a term used to describe when your Internet Service   
   Provider (ISP) slows your connection on purpose. T-Mobile is one of   
   many ISPs known to throttle bandwidth, and there are a variety of   
   reasons why it may decide to slow down a user’s connection speeds. An   
   ISP may throttle bandwidth for numerous reasons:   
      
   * The network may be congested, with too many users and not enough   
     bandwidth to meet increased demand. As such, individual users may   
     see their speeds throttled.   
      
   * Your ISP may prioritize some sites and services over   
     others. Companies have been known to pay for ISP prioritization,   
     ensuring faster speeds for their services. This can conversely lead   
     to a slowdown for any services that aren’t paying extra.   
      
   * In an effort to discourage the use of torrents or illegal   
     streaming,an ISP might throttle bandwidth for these activities.   
      
   * Even with an ‘unlimited’ plan, T-Mobile will slow speeds if you’re   
     using large amounts of bandwidth per month. T-Mobile says mobile   
     customers that have used more than 50GB of data in a single billing   
     period are “heavy data users,” and are a lower priority compared to   
     everyone else.   
      
   * If you’re using a tethered connection, T-Mobile prioritizes   
     on-device traffic.
