RUWired uses a QOS bandwidth limitation to provide a fair level of service to all users. The equipment that controls your session on RUWired is limited as to how much throughput it can sustain, so throttling the connection speed is a fair way to divide the available bandwidth. RUWired is also provided as a convenience and is not intended to be used for bandwidth intensive applications.
