Why does tmobile not throttle your traffic when it's running through a VPN as well?

[โ€“] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 months ago

Most providers will just try to control specific sites to save on bandwidth. If they did it to all sites then they couldn't claim they have X speed. They'll even try to give extra bandwidth if you go to well known speed testing websites.

When going through a vpn, they don't know what websites and data your requesting, so it's outside their parameters they have set up to throttle.
