In Brazil, the vast majority of internet users (approximately 90%) are not affected by traffic shaping, a practice that all operators deny using, although evidence shows otherwise. This is because the average Brazilian generally uses the internet to access emails, social networks, and YouTube, which consume fewer resources.

A small segment of users who consume large amounts of data (torrents, games, subscription streaming, large data transfers, etc.) may suffer from traffic shaping if the operator decides that one or another service should have its speed reduced or even be blocked for a certain period of time.

It's worth remembering that, in Brazil, traffic shaping is often confused with... Bandwidth Throttling (or bandwidth limitation, in Portuguese): how Anatel determines that operators are required to deliver a minimum speed of 40% from the contractor (80% average transmission) without suffering penalties, they often reduce the speed of users in order to favor connections of priority clients such as companies, who pay more for the connection.
