- jpc0 2y agoI'm assuming if you are getting let's you are in violation of TOS you agreed to. Advocacy aside, the solution is to not. I know a lot of people can't pick another provider but at the same time they probably didn't need what they were torrenting... Now do I think what I do with my internet is my problem and my ISP can go f themselves. Yes, but I'm also in the privileged position to have many options and quite a few have the "its your internet connection, we will inform you about throttling if we have a technical reason, also if the police asks we are compelled by law to do x" A VPN does not solve your problem and isn't advocacy, it's at best bootlegging.
