I was using Magnet for past few months, now I will be moving on my own and I am in need for a new connection.

On my Magnet usage, I experienced stream issues on twitch website. Like, streaming video pauses constantly every few minutes, decreasing the quality stops the issue.

I had 100 Mbps connection and on seperate tab speedtest was showing that I have 70 Mbps internet (over wifi) so it's not a speed issue. Nothing changes if I use cable connection.

And magically, this problem disappears after 12 o'clock and same stream with same quality plays without any single problem.

So is it known that Magnet makes bandwith throttle for certain websites/times?

I am not their customer ATM so I can't ask them the question officially I believe so.
