Eli5:How do ISP’s control different data rate speeds. Is there a particular switch at their end to cater to different customers with different subscription rates?
In: Technology
The kind of network routers they are using at their end (probably in the first exchange you connect to but potentially anywhere along the line) are able to limit traffic on a per port basis (Even something like [this](https://mikrotik.com/product/CRS326-24G-2SplusRM) which is probably a few steps below what they would use can limit bandwidth individually on each port)
