:never in my downloading life have I EVER hit my lines potential, let alone say 2 megs. 6 meg connection here.
I gaurantee they are throttling p2p apps. Soon as I go over to my brothers house, start up Azureus, VERIZON's speeds climb to 500kb- 2 megs during DL's. Mine on the other hand at home barely hit 100kb.
No spyware/malware BS. My shits Fort Knox, nothings using my connection wihtout my OK (you get the drift).
Ive been experiencing this for about 6 months.
It's not the size (IE your full line) it's the amount of traffic that overwhelms the router.
