Dan, Fascinating Dan! This is very consistent with what I'm experiencing.
Glasnost says I'm being rate limited as well: http://bit.ly/19WElPg Also, according to: http://wiki.vuze.com/w/Bad_ISPs#Philippines, PLDT "limits bandwidth for accounts with a high traffic volume". Maybe I'm on their naughty list? (Is it too late for bad Christmas analogies?) However, I am able to successfully tunnel BitTorrent over IPv4, so v6 doesn't seem necessary (yet). This begs the question, shouldn't I be getting the bandwidth I'm paying for, for whatever I need it for?
