How to bypass T-Mobile throttling with a VPN [telecom]

By James Milin-Ashmore

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.
