It's not a deliberate attempt to screw you, or prevent you doing your  
good work, or closet support of Microsoft. It's their best guess  
attempt at equally sharing a scarce resource (international bandwidth)  
among all of their users.

Paying for a gamer's package won't help much, depending upon the ISP,  
most of them give you better INTERACTIVE performance at the cost of  
poorer downloads, etc.

My advice to you is to schedule you work so that uploads and downloads  
are done at off hours. 012's off hours are around 3am to 3pm, for  
example. One day, as a test, I tried to see how much I could download  
in a day using a 15mbit NGN line and a regular 012 account. I was able  
to get over 50g (50 gigabytes) of download, 99+% during the off peak  
period.
