zigzag is usually software rate limiters from my experience.
We have a 10mbit unmetered box in seattle, it's not set to 10mbit on the network card (god knows why), but is set from a cisco command on a gsr9000 series router. Due to this, a single thread download from say microsoft (also in seattle - with a 1ms ping!) runs at 10mbit on average, but zigzags nicely from about 8mbit to 12mbit.
