This has been happening to me for a long time. I have an alias set up in my terminal that will send a ping to speedtest.net every few seconds to make my ISP think that I am doing a speedtest. I will start it if I am noticing throttling. It seems to work some of the time, but not if the network is extremely overloaded.

Something like this: alias pingspeed="ping -i 4 speedtest.net"
