BT will throttle you to ~1Mb/s between 6pm -> midnight on weekdays if
they feel you have broken their fair use policy. This applies to all
protocols. I am currently waiting to see if the throttle is permanent
or on a month by month basis (In this particular case I happened to
transfer ~150GB of backup data from a co-located machine to my home).
