This is a wriggle I'd never heard about.

After years a complaining about my slow ADSL I found someone at
Telstra who told why my connection slows.
Our downloads and uploads slow to a crawl at times for no obvious
reason. We are a video production company and we upload large files
every few days, we don't do it all day every day. As we upload a file
everything slows after a period of time and goes good again after a
reset. I have complained for years and we never get to the bottom of
the fault.
We are a video production company and we need to upload large files
from time to time and the slowing is impacting on our business.
Today the tech called and he has looked at our usage and told me that
everything is fine technically and the problem is the 'fair go' rule
set into the Telstra system, the rule set slows ALL of our traffic up
and down if our upload usage exceeds 80% of the the available line
speed for a set period. for example, if we have a line speed of 1MBps
and we upload for 30 minutes at .9MBps our downloads and uploads will
be slowed to 50KBps until our upload stops for ten minutes or we
reboot. Our files are large they are videos, we are not running
servers or doing anything illegal, we are just trying to run a small
business on bad internet and telstra are restricting our use. We have
asked a contract but Telstra refuse to send it. Telstra told me there
is no mention of the 'fair go' rule in the contract.
