I see what you are meaning.. and agree..
Just trying not to confuse the terms.
Throttling generally is restricting the throughput, speed, etc for the user/service.. from the potential MAXIMUM that is there.
Vs say... if the case of they SHOULD (say for example) have 3 pipes of a certain max.. and only then have 1...
yeah, its potentially BAD, and restrictive to the customer, something they SHOULDNT be doing. But not 'throttling' per say.
more not providing proper service..
