We do not have such throttling.
Our ADSL partner, Enta, have a system in place to manage congestion and so
to prevent latency and packet loss which works as follows:
If usage on a particular central pipe exceeds 96% all users on that pipe
whose download speed is over 2.5Mb have their download speed reduced by
500kb/s. This is repeated until usage drops below 96% or the user
connections drop to 2Mb. The system will not drop speeds below 2Mb. Once
usage drops below 91% those users have their speeds increased in 200kb/s
increments.
