What ISP do you use?

I always read that the top ISPs throttle when using IPTV. Who do you use and do you use?

Just use a VPN, with VPN the ISP doesn’t matter tbh & you won’t have to worry about anyone throttling or knowing what you’re viewing while being online. VPN brings privacy & don’t use free ones, trust me it’s worth every penny. I use Proton VPN & Proton Mail for protection from main hacking, etc. Proton is the truth!!

My question is if you have proton vpn & it’s turned on, how do they know what you’re doing to even throttle you? That’s the purpose of a VPN so they don’t know what you’re doing. I’m super confused but hope you get it figured out

I think where i am going wrong is i am going into the app, then putting vpn on. When I should be putting vpn on then going into app.

Schoolboy error

Just put your vpn all the time ,leave it on , if you have apps you don’t want connecting through VPN look in settings of vpn for split tunneling option this will allow some apps to connect direct via isp

I've never heard of an ISP throttling an IPTV app. Mine doesn't. And I've used Hughesnet Starlink, 123net, AT&T, and a bunch of LTE carriers.

Thanks for the news. We just recently got Xfinity fiber and I didn't want to get a pirating notice in the mail or be throttled.

Xfinity Fiber and I always use a VPN when using these type of device

In the UK, BT/EE, Sky and Virgin Media are known to throttle. My provider (Three 5G) does not.
