Sorry, but the tech support guys from Break/gamefront don't usually look here. You'll have to look at Break's support site to get help:

No they have not limited download speeds. It could be any number of things from your provider, your location or even the route the connection takes to our servers. There are countries that have either been blocked by us or block us.
Run a speed test at speedtest.net and post the image of your results.
Also in your cmd prompt (in win 7 just type cmd in the search bar) then type
ping gamefront.com
and post the results. Mine has about 4 hops from here to the servers.

I'm from Argentina, ISP is : Telecom S.A.
but why my country would be blocked by gamefront?

I have 1MB of download, downloads should go at 100-120 KBPS, but in gamefront they go at 4-10 kbps
The last time I downloaded something from gamefront at the speed that it should go (100-120 KBPS) was last week..

Here are the results of the Ping, tracert, and speed test:

Te good news is that your not blocked but you will notice a drop in speed if there are a lot of people using the internet in you local area. I know it sounds daft but at peak times there will always be a slowdown and unfortunately for you at the speeds you get then you definately feel it.
You are correct though you should be seeing download speeds of around the 90 / 100 kbps.
