What does "4g lte throttling" mean?

Sorry I'm a little bit of a tech-tard on this subject. I have Sprint as my wireless carrier n I don't think they do that. I just recently heard this phrase being used for AT&T n Verizon.

    It means they slow down your Internet speed is when you use lots of data.

    Sprint has "unlimited" data, but once you use 2 gigs they throttle your speed to "Dial-Up" speed

    4g is the name used to refer to the speed of the internet. theres also 3g which is slower. and 2g is even slower. but throttling means that once u reach a certain amount of data usage on the internet for the month -say 6 gigabytes- after this point they slow down youre internet speed so that you dont use as much internet data.
