No surprise there. The demand for more bandwidth is growing faster than the supply of additional bandwidth. The suppliers are starting to try to throttle the traffic to maintain what they have. Hopefully Verizon will not hit the bottleneck with their fiber network for awhile, I like full speed connections all the time.

The "Telecommunications and Opportunities Reform Act" was recently approved in the US, which should end things like this and create net neutrality, but this is only in the US. Fortunately for many, most internet providers are only throttling bandwidth hogging BitTorrent transmissions.
