We're discussing various ways to rank tasks, but yes, if your ISP adjusts traffic based on the internet service you're using, a VPN could assist. Ranking at the cell tower and during congestion won't be impacted by a VPN. Two distinct scenarios.
The VPN operates at the TCP/IP layer, which sits above the cellular link. This means a VPN connection can't influence the basic transmission medium.
I already said, there is nothing you can do about congestion or the cellular-connection prioritization that happens at the tower. The only thing you can do anything about is the TCP/IP-level prioritization and that's with a VPN or similar service. If the tower is congested and decides to give priority to higher-paying customers, then you're simply shit out of luck.
they mentioned specific information that should always be given priority. I noticed some of my data wouldn’t be limited by deprioritization when using a VPN with mobile data. I also saw that someone’s internet speed improved with a VPN—check out the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_Y2MxJP-V0
Mobile data presents challenges due to its dynamic nature. Signal strength between the tower and your phone fluctuates significantly over short intervals. Relying on a few test samples that span extended periods won't ensure reliable performance. A VPN will obscure your activity, while providers may categorize it based on usage patterns. It won't automatically boost speed, though increased bandwidth might improve throughput under certain conditions. Congestion metrics at the tower will influence performance, and guarantees from providers are limited to predefined service levels. Customer A receives a consistent, assured data rate regardless of fluctuations.
I pay $100 for a month and get gigabit speeds, but I’m only receiving a few dozen Mbps—it feels like a scam.
WiFi and cellular services work differently. You're not being taken advantage of, you're just receiving what you pay for. My Cox WiFi is $60 a month, while AT&T and Mint Mobile cellular plans charge $70. Both are monthly fees. If you're not happy with your plan, consider changing providers. Understanding the terms and conditions is important so you're prepared for any changes.
I rely on my mobile data for home internet since I don’t have cable access. I’m facing issues and need to recover my money.
