Cable Forum - View Single Post - Microsoft intentionally restricting Firefox speed?

I downloaded the same file on IE and Firefox, both download at around 213kbps a second, you can take your tinfoil hat off now. In fact, having just tried it again, firefox was quicker, it claimed it never dropped below 250kbps (which is obviously wrong) but it was still at least 3-4 seconds faster. OMFG, Microsoft is crippling IE's download speed!
