Sounds like your upstream is getting saturated. I bet that when you're downloading at 2k, you're uploading at 20k, and when you're uploading at 6k, you're downloading at 20k.
I always seem to reiterate my point about upstream saturation all the time. I haven't attempted to download the latest patch, but it sounds like it'll be the same ol' same ol' with regards to ADSL and Blizzard's poor BitTorrent implementation. BitTorrent + ADSL = a cap on the max upstream allowed and the number of connected peers is required, or else your modem will choke.
Good luck with your download!
