Hi Nils,

Yes, this is a known problem. It has been discussed a number of times

It is not unusual for ISPs to set a very conservative default, and then
raise it when the customer asks. You don't necessarily have to mention
Tor in your request.

Always a good idea to remind people. Maybe this encourages someone to
submit a patch for the website?
