On my servers they went constantly down during the last few days, 
see [1].

Yes, my servers took the additional traffic without any other 
imapcts. Even if the bandwidth usage was / is visibly higher then 
before, it is still no that much more and still far away from the 
physical limit of my connection, see [2] or [3] (both logarithmic 
graphs).

Same thing seems to happen here, even the peaks are now much 
lower then on last Tuesday, which was around 24 hours after the 
addition to the tr zone.
