Take a look here about Starhub Singapore:

And that's a comment of someone with similar problems, but in regard to some other file sharing programs:

My isp in Singapore, starhub does the same thing as Cebridge. I guess its an international procedure now and most tiers are doing it.

It doesnt matter if i use bittorent or not. My internet connection dies in some times of the day and sometimes for a good part of the day. The connection is just totally throttled. But when I lay off bittorent for awhile, I get blasting speeds again and then back to throttling after half a day. Like Ares said I guess.

And isps are no longer throttling bittorent. I think they find it easier to throttle the whole connection of a person who USES his connection fully.

My friend does downloading of movies from a paid site and blasted the isp tech personel coz he was not getting good http speeds. They unthrottled his connection but he had a good reason.

PS. Encrypt ur ports and keep changing them every few days. It works with Starhub for most parts.
