In the first place, that sounds pretty strange here on DU.

In the second place, internet speed varies all the time. We all experience Internet slowdowns from time to time, caused by a wide variety of issues. Unless you see this happening on a regular basis, day after day, odds are it's just an Internet slowdown, not throttling by your provider.

Jumping to conclusions is not usually a good idea.
