Can't say for sure. Wouldn't Comcast/Spectrum/RoadRunner(TWC) be able to
throttle traffic more effectively using their in-house DNS service?
Maybe unbound escapes their reach? Just speculating here because as
everyone has gathered, I am pretty clueless about the finer points of
networking.

I had no idea when I started this thread that it would turn into such an
informative monster. The collective wealth of knowledge on this list is
stunning. While most of it is way over my head, I have picked up a few
things and now have plenty of references if I get whacked again by a
network issue. Again, thanks to all.
