this may also be related to your bittorrent question
some ISPs have bandwidth throttlers because the only people who are constantly d/l or u/l are those who are using something like bit torrent, kazaa, etc.
My ISP put an instant cap on my d/l speeds after 10 hours of contstant bandwidth usage. I ended up arguing with them over the definition of "fair use" and to show me in the Terms of Service where it said that I couldn't download large files from my office or clients? They had to eventually reset my modem and uncap the cap that was put onto it.
and remember before you go in there guns blazing... hosting a server is against your TOS.
