google weighs in on bell throttling

[Tyler Aviss]

I experience the same thing with my connection (ADSL, which means
throttled by Bell).
SCP'ing files from work seems to experience some definite speed issues
that I do not experience on my LAN or when the server was previously
hooked up with a different ISP.
