Please HELP

I raved about MWEB in another post, but recently found that my torrents are shaped to 0.1k during the day. This is really irritating...

About 3 weeks back, I was still getting 160k during the day, with torrents, on a 1Mb uncapped line.. it's almost as if they changed the shaping policy.. but then again my colleagues don't see the same thing happening.

I have also9 tested with an FNB unshaped capped account, and there I get full speeds... so it must be MWEB.

Why would I be shaped so MASSIVELY, while everyone else is still getting good speeds?

You might have been throttled if you've been going through massive amounts of bandwidth.
Check the fair usage policy

One of the main things that router manufacturers do not take into account for some reason is that the best MTU to use is 1454. This can actually improve browsing speed etc a lot. This is in general no matter what provider you are with btw... Good old rules of the internet.

This might actually solve that browsing issue if you are still experiencing it. Let me know if you are still having the issue. There are other things to look at too.
