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?

The hogs are my Rokus. So streaming seems to be more than 40% of the total data consumption. I was hoping I could limit the bandwidth to those devices since most streaming services have a sort of rolling quality based on the connection speed. I'm not looking to change my streaming habits, but I'm also too cheap to pay such a crazy rip-off amount for more data allowance from Cox. I may try looking into what you advised about the switch since most of the data is from streaming.

AFAIK Rokus only have 10/100Mb ethernet ports anyway, so I don't think a 10/100Mbps switch would throttle much. I believe bridging the gateway and using your own router is the best option.
