/BAND-width THROT-ling/

Also known as: traffic shaping, rate limiting network

Last updated August 8, 2026

Definition

Bandwidth throttling intentionally slows a connection or traffic type, often by an ISP, network admin, or application, to manage congestion or enforce plans.

Real-World Example

An ISP may throttle video streaming speeds after you exceed a monthly data cap so other customers share capacity more evenly.
