Using my own anecdotal experience in rural usage of TMHI, multiple hours during peak times of the day every day I get deprioritized to the point where I have insanely slow speeds and horrible latency. Albeit, one may last longer than the other episodically. Let's assume deprioritization is what's happening to OP and not throttling (though it could be many other things) well the outcome is the same. Throttling is not "all the time" it's a temporary period of time when you reach a threshold of data (typically).īoth are temporary throttles of the speed just for different reasons in a different context. So, when it gets congested what do they do? They limit (throttle) your access to that bandwidth so more is available to the priority users. There's a fixed amount of bandwidth in an area, they want cell users to have the best experience as a priority over home internet. So yes, deprioritization is a throttle because it does exactly that, just in a different manner and for a different reason. The definition of throttle in this context literally means to reduce speed temporarily. Whereas you're always subject to random periods of deprioritization while using the service because your always lowest priority. At least you can predict/control throttling assuming it's due to you passing a data cap. Then the only difference leftover is why or when exactly it's happening which doesn't really matter if both make for a shit user experience with unreasonably slow speeds for a temporary period of time. The article you posted just basically spells out the pointless semantics between the two and uses incorrect assumptions regarding the outcome of throttling versus deprioritization because both of them can make your internet unusably slow. did you even read it or just goggle "what's the difference?" So you could argue on Reddit?
