I suppose they think people will be using paid VPN services to bypass P2P throttling. I can't work from home because RDP is so slow.

It does look like it. I've just downloaded a .net redist from Microsoft and achieved a heady 1.9 Mbps directly via my VM 20Mb connection.
Downloading the same file via my corporate vpn the transfer rate average is 310Kbps.
This is via vpn concentrator which has a 2GB/s link to the POP (the utilisation on the circuit is single figures at the moment). Even with a couple of firewalls and ISA in the path and the encryption overhead I wouldn't expect there to be that much difference. Be interesting what happens if I try this again after midnight
