Depends how they are throttling it, using a VPN could help with YouTube but unfortunately would be tricky to find one that works with Netflix.

Very poor of them really as Netflix allow ISPs to host cache servers to save the ISPs bandwidth, mine has them.

So out where i live we can only get one isp. its wireless. anyway we pay for 50mbps (up to) and when i download steam or battle.net game it does that mostly and speedtest.net is mostly 40-50 as well but netflix and youtube both say in their stats that the bandwidth is 4-5 mbps. it is purposefully limited. i asked my isp why its limited and they said it just is. is their any way around this 50 should be more then enough for 4k netflix says a stable 25,
