Slow mirror connections



I have a Verizon Fios 50 MBs connection but have noticed of late that any significant updates (using Aptitude) start out at about 4-5 mBytes/s and after about 15 - 20% of the files have been transfered the transfer rate drops to about 1/20th of normal speed. Does anyone have any idea why this happens or where the problem lies. I'm using the standard entries in my sources.conf file.

After the "fooferah" that Netflix had with the big network providers, I don't trust them to really give me the service that I am paying for.
