Throttling deliberately limits the data rate available to specific traffic, rather than allowing it to use full available bandwidth.
Why It's Used
Providers throttle to manage network congestion fairly across many users, or as an explicit plan limit once a usage threshold is crossed.
Impact on Hosted Applications
An application transferring large files or streaming media can be meaningfully affected by throttling — worth understanding your specific plan's policies if this kind of traffic is central to your application.
