Bell throttling is a telecommunications term for the practice of intentionally slowing down internet traffic during peak usage times. This can be done by a variety of methods, such as packet shaping or bandwidth throttling. Bell throttling is often used by internet service providers (ISPs) to manage network congestion and improve overall network performance. However, it can also be used to intentionally discriminate against certain types of traffic, such as peer-to-peer file sharing or streaming video.
There are a number of ways to avoid bell throttling. One is to use a VPN, which encrypts your traffic and makes it more difficult for your ISP to track and throttle it. Another option is to use a traffic shaping tool, which allows you to control the amount of bandwidth that is used by different types of traffic. You can also try to avoid using your internet connection during peak usage times, or to use less bandwidth-intensive applications.
