This is a strange situation because I've never heard of anyone getting throttled on a DSL connection.
Well, they called me today, I wasn't home so they left a message, they made some changes they said so things should improve.

The download speed did improve, I am now peaking at 80-90 kbps, which is crap. It looks like they throttled all downloads. I am now downloading a 100 MB file from rapidshare, and the speed is 78 kbps, almost identical to BC.

BC is closed as I am downloading this file. When it is nearly complete, I will start the downloads again on BC to see how much the rapidshare download slows.
