PLDT rate limiting torrents?

Hi gang, Is anyone experiencing problems with BitTorrent on PLDT myDSL? I'm maxing out at 10 to 20kB/s download, a far cry from the 600 to 700 kB/s I used to be getting a few weeks ago. For the record, my connection seems fine in every other respect - http, video, voip, etc all work well. Speedtest.net reports the usual 5 to 6 Mbps of download speed. I haven't touched my modem or wireless routers in months and none of them support QoS anyways. I've tried several torrent clients (e.g., uTorrent, Transmission, Vuze, etc), but no luck. One curiosity is that sometimes my download speed will reach 300+ kB/s, but *only* when I'm connected to a fast peer *within* the PLDT network. This, more than anything, indicates there may be some kind of filtering going on. I've found a work around by tunneling the Torrent traffic through a remote server, but it's a bit of a pain. Any theories?
