I do suspect it's some sort of traffic management. It would be interesting too see those who have this capping are in areas where congestion is a problem or potentially can be.
That's an interesting development and perhaps the first confirmation of this issue on a non-Motorola CMTS.

When downloading do you get a stable 100Mbps, or does the speed fluctuate?

I've attached a graph showing how unstable the download speed is for me. This was done at 10:30 on a Friday morning so the traffic on the local network should have been quite low.

I could accept a 70Mb per thread cap (as long as they were honest about it) but the speed variances seem far too extreme for this to be a deliberate policy. It can reach 170Mb then fall to 7Mb.
