Well, I'll just reply to my own message. The problem, as it turns out is that
there are special characters in the file I was downloading (standard Linux core
file), which cause the modem to retrain.

Using the command:

asyncmap 0x00000000

Fixes basically everything. The file now downloads at 10.54 K/s, I have very
few slowdowns whatsoever.

I'm happy.
