How to stop your ISP from throttling Netflix

Some Internet Service Providers will throttle Netflix traffic when they detect it, which slows your connection down and makes it difficult or impossible to stream — even though you pay for internet service.

By routing your internet traffic through Hotspot Shield’s secure VPN servers, your data is encrypted so your ISP can’t see what sites you’re visiting. This ensures it cannot throttle Netflix. Using Hotspot Shield VPN to unblock Netflix and prevent throttling means your content will load faster and you won’t have to worry about buffering.
