Some websites can function like a VPN by masking your IP address and encrypting traffic.

Hey there! I saw the NCIX video on my email and noticed it buffering more quickly. The speed difference was pretty noticeable—2500 Kb/s in Outlook versus 350 Kb/s on YouTube. I’m curious if the HTTPS encryption is acting like a "VPN" for that extra security. Thanks for sharing, but I didn’t find the perfect place to post this.
It wouldn't be accurate to label it a VPN, though you can indeed receive links through an email and view them. With a reliable partner in place, this works effectively.
It's not always the ISP that throttles and if there going to throttle there not going to pay enough attention to detail for that kind of selection. There to straight up slow down your connection. I mean they do that to me sometimes mine will be 15 up 20 down and others it's 10 or less even though I'm paying for 15.
It's not uncommon for ISPs to slow down traffic, and I wouldn't question that. However, if these new Internet regulations are being pushed by the FCC, you might see a dedicated "fast lane" for certain services.
