Reply To: Shady ISP shenanigans

Probably shady, especially if the first site is something like YouTube or Netflix (or something else that is higher-bandwidth).

If you want to find out, try using a VPN service like privateinternetaccess.com or goldenfrog.com/vyprvpn. VyprVPN has a free trial, so you can make sure it solves your issue before paying for it.

(I found out about these particular services through TekSyndicate. They also discuss the “throttling” issue fairly often.)
