Well I use SSH a lot and I dont use it to leech, 67kbit/sec will give you many lag bursts. Simply because even if just used for command line there will be needs for bursts of bandwidth and when it isnt there it freezes momentarily as it wants to catch up.

When you say SSH is used to leech you mean people encrypt their traffic which isnt SSH its just encryption to hide from isp's trying to find what type of traffic it is.

Also the 67kbit is maximum people put on it get max 8kB/sec from everything including http, plusnet are doing wild tactics like putting everyone who requests a mac onto 24/7 management so they dont rape the line during their last month.
