Sorry to break this to you, but those numbers sound right. 1.5 Mb download (or MB or mb I'm really not sure) as advertised seems to turn out to be 150-200 kbps. I have 5 Mb connection now and it's 500kbps. Same upload as you, same advertised. I'm DEFINITELY not being shaped or throttled.

However, I believe uTorrent and Azereus can encrypt your packets so ISPs (for now) cannot decipher it as torrent/p2p traffic. They can however send you an angry letter informing you that your contract actually has a download limit per month.
