I am seeing this too -- and I have the same ISP.

The 'win 45' stuff is meant to be scaled.  At the beginning of the TCP
connection you'll see 'wscale 7' from your end, i.e. 45<<7, i.e. 5760.

Try 'echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling'.  For me, this
makes the problem go away entirely.

So is this a Linux kernel problem, or a problem at the ISP's end?
