After much debating, they informed me that it was cut right back to throttle on torrent speeds.

Yeah. Upload speeds are annoyingly slow here. What most people may not realise is that for every bit of data you download there is some form of data upload, most often ACK/NAK transactions for file transfers. Having a fast upload actually helps with download speed.
We host our own servers here at work and have to pat extra to get a fast upload speed which really sucks.
