Exactly one week after that ruling, the internet went to shit here. Steam included. Took way longer than it should have for my fiance's kid to download Goat Simulator earlier this week.

I get that - and the timing of it is certainly suspect. But again, the last place you'd expect to see traffic shaping is against known benchmark servers. All I'm suggesting is that it's possible that there's something more to it than that.

You do make a good point, will give them a call when I get back from the doctor.
