?? Tell me more. How to Bypass Bandwidth Limit Restrictions & ISP Throttling in 2023: Full Speed All The Time

"A VPN sends your traffic through an encrypted tunnel, preventing the ISP from seeing the websites you visit. When the ISP is blind to your online activity, it no longer selects you for throttling for viewing specific content."

"A VPN gets around this anti-consumer practice, enabling you to enjoy an unrestricted online experience."

Using a VPN will actually increase the data usage a bit. It wraps all of your in/outbound traffic to tunnel it through your VPN endpoint.

Been using Verizon's unlimited plans for 8 or so years, only throttling we've seen so far was the HotSpot (was not on the unlimited plan), that was still best effort and worked well.

I think throttling in the context from your article is based on the type of site/resource you're connected to. Some ISPs throttle those who stream videos, music, etc. I don't think a VPN will help you with data limit-based throttling though.

Pretty sure the key word there is “specific” - in other words, if your provider throttles tigerdroppings.com traffic it won’t know that’s where your data is going. It would perceive all your traffic as going to, say, vpnsRus.com
