Yep!
I hadn;t used my PC in a while but I fired it up, and same problem. It could not connect via FTP.

I had issues with a host one time, and it turned out it was IPv6 routing issues on their end. Using an IPv4 worked.

Checked that! I'm using IPv4 (I've never used 6...)

Yup! Did that too. I even disabled the firewall of the server for a few minutes and removed all filters. Same problem.

Done and done! HTTP is fast and seems normal.
FTP'ing through a browser however is dead-slow.

My service provider is Bell Canada. When I call tech support I of course only get the low-level support on the phone who barely know the basics. Essentially they won't support anything above "surfing the web". FUCK. I finally convinced the last one to have a manager call me back, which I'm waiting for now.
