Can I throttle my own connection?
I have Ultimate 500 connection but some of my devices are data hogs which results in data overages. I have a panoramic gateway. Is it possible to manually throttle a specific device on my network?
Thanks

Not with the panoramic gateway. Why are the specific devices data hogs? Is that anything you can adjust? You could install a 10/100Mb switch between your gateway and the "hogs" which would physically throttle them to 100Mbps. You could also bridge the gateway and buy your own router that has QoS to limit the total bandwidth, not just speed.

No you cannot throttle, but what you CAN do is using the Cox Panoramic gateway software is you can set time limits on connections, and limit the amount of time a device can remain connected. Other than that, if you are streaming, be aware, that can use a LOT of data, and you may want to look at the add 500 or unlimited package if you are in an area that limits data.
