Traffic Shaping / Proxy?

Hi,

I'm wondering if Smarty does any traffic shaping that may effect SSL or similar. I am a new customer and have noticed that, on my android (Pixel 5), I get and SSL protocol error on a website I frequent as well as being told I am offline on another popular app. None of these issues occur when I'm on WiFi which makes me think it's an issue with Smarty. A proxy or traffic shaping is my first thought but I am open to other ideas. I have gone through the usual technical solutions on my mobile.

I'd expect Three UK (and therefore SMARTY) have an active bandwidth management policy, and operate proxy servers to enforce any adult content restrictions they and SMARTY use. 

I guess both could impact your experience with any given website, over a mobile internet connection.

No doubt different policies would apply when you're using a Wi-Fi network to visit any given website.
