Not noticed it lately but there have been several rumours that it's coming real soon now...

Then, I get the idea to see if they are actively monitoring the connection and restricting certain applications, so I change the port in Transmission and enable encryption. Then BOOM, things speed up straight away and I'm now getting ~60kb/s.

60kb/s?
Like 8kB/s? or 60kB/s?
I'll do some evaluation downloads later this evening but could I suggest you do the
Glastnost test?
(Probably best to wait until the post-9pm rush settles down, if at all possible.)
