Manage network traffic<\/i><\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During peak times, the bandwidth may not accommodate the influx of users who are all online at the same time, resulting in slow internet speeds. Internet providers then have to ration the bandwidth so everyone can access the internet during times of network congestion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedinternet.com\/resources\/how-can-i-tell-if-my-internet-is-being-throttled-by-my-isp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The problem with this scenario<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is that it often gets blurry. Specific users get discriminated against, and even more concerning, properly managed networks shouldn\u2019t have such noticeable dips in speed.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><strong><i>2. Perform paid prioritisation <\/i><\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While this has legal ramifications and thus may not be overly practised, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedinternet.com\/resources\/how-can-i-tell-if-my-internet-is-being-throttled-by-my-isp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">paid prioritisation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is still a common practice that is often justified in the murky finer print and causes slow internet speeds.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0An internet provider can simply offer higher bandwidth for specific websites that it owns, or because they were paid to provide faster load times from website owners.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><strong><i>3. React to your data threshold\/bandwidth package<\/i><\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Internet data packages are often capped, and once you\u2019ve hit your limit, your bandwidth slows down. Internet activity inherently involves data download and upload, from basic tasks like reading a website, streaming content to heavy content creation on social media. So you may be hitting your limit without being aware of it.<\/span><\/p><p><strong><i>4. Deter prohibited activities<\/i><\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Internet providers can throttle your connection if you partake in online activities that are deemed illegal. Though this makes moral sense, it often raises concerns about your data privacy. It also circles back to one of the main qualms with throttling: lack of transparency from providers who throttle your connection without letting you know.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to find out whether your internet is throttled, you can run an internet speed test and find out what speed you are currently at. Measurement Lab Speed\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/speed.measurementlab.net\/#\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">speed test<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, can compare your results with the data plan you currently have. It is important to note that providers protect themselves from pushback by adding \u201cspeeds up to \u2026\u201d as a clause. This leaves them wiggle room to fluctuate your connection speed whenever they feel the need to throttle bandwidth.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8898b80 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8898b80\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Lack of internet equity<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4f3e14f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4f3e14f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is easy to surmise the underpinning of what is often the real reason behind slow internet speed, which is maximising profits at the lowest cost possible. Because if network congestion is really the core of why internet providers slow down bandwidth so everyone has fair access, it begs the question of why they can\u2019t invest in better infrastructure to handle the demand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Evidently, they are looking for the bigger bang for the buck. Instead of paying for a bigger pie so everyone gets an equally big piece of it, they opt to save money and keep the smaller pie. Some people get a big piece while others end up with a smaller piece. Everyone gets a piece\u2013but are they all treated fairly, and most of all, is it the piece they paid for?<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-60711f4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"60711f4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Pure fibre internet for seamless use\n<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-32de492 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"32de492\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simply put, pure fibre internet is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/help.afrihost.com\/entry\/pure-uncapped-fibre-experience-explained\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cuncapped, unshaped and unthrottled\u201d.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> While running at significantly higher speeds than cable, there is enough bandwidth for you to use the internet seamlessly without any interruptions, buffering and other hiccups.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The infrastructure is substantial enough to accommodate as many users as possible without the politics of providers rationing bandwidth and you ending up with slow internet speeds.
