Been there, done that. SNAFU.
VPN will never be throttled as doing 'deep fondling' on VPN packets may bring official charges of 'rape' by users. No box vendor will want to go there...
So, you get unfondled speeds all the way to US.
This is my major tiff with them about their throttling. They dont do dynamic throttling, they employ blanket throttling. Heck care if the gateway is unused, if day time, just simply whack. What I had expected is for the throttling to behave like a priority based service. So, I believe that he was using the VPN when there was no congestion on the Intl route, altho all of us were being capped to high heaven.
SSH dont grook. Unless you are able to use dynamic ports, they're already waiting to throttle you at the default port nos... And they employ 'wholesale throttling' if they see you there, even if you're trying to do normal browsing. Be prepared for 1.5 KB/sec/stream. Try it, and SSL too, you might not like the result.
I wont discuss what works, I'd just discuss what wont work so as to save you guys time...
