    Not only that, but since it’s synchronous, if you’re uploading at nearly 3 Mbps, your download rate absolutely tanks.

      That’s due to the shit queuing most ISPs implement. You can limit your bandwidth below your actual limit on your router and do your own queueing that prioritizes TCP acknowledgements and you won’t destroy your connection when you hit max upload.

        Exactly. I had to implement QOS on my network otherwise my backups would kill my Internet connection. Now at least I can leave everything at 100% upload rate and let the network devices handle my traffic.
