What Is Throttling?
Throttling is deliberate reduction of bandwidth for certain traffic or after usage thresholds. Not every buffering problem is throttling.
Check the Basics First
Test Ethernet, restart the router and player, measure internet speed and compare performance at different times.
Compare Connections
Compare Wi-Fi with Ethernet and, where practical, another network to identify whether the problem is local, device-specific or network-related.
DNS and VPN Options
Changing DNS can alter name resolution but does not add bandwidth. A reputable VPN may change routing and privacy characteristics but can also add latency.
When to Contact Support
Record the device, app, time, affected channel and test results so support can isolate account, application, server or network causes.
