I have not had any experience with anything I'd call a "deliberate speed slowdown." I suspect this is yet another Internet Legend.

So how much 'downloading' do you typically do? multi-MB product downloads? 100 kb pdf files?, large jpegs?, etc?

I use mine for business purposes, and I use it a lot (which is one reason I'm on FR so much, because I spend pretty much all day at the 'puter). I'm not sure how much on average, but I do download a lot.
