Both are true - I've seen p2p uploads pushing pings towards 3000ms while
I'm trying! to work via ssh from outside - but it's nothing to do with
your ISP/telco in particular; it's just the nature of A(symmetric)DSL.

I'm only using ipfw+dummynet pipes for such so far, but hope to try out
WF2Q+ queuing soon to prioritise traffic so I can ease up on b/w limits.
