Hmmm...

Looks like genuine transmission problems.  Lengthening timeout won't
help anything.  It will just make it take longer to fail.

Currently, there's no way to disable automatic speed down without
patching the code and given that the mechanism works well for many
cases, I'm somewhat reluctant to introduce changes / switch solely for
this case.  You're having a genuine transmission problem and I think
fixing the underlying hardware issue would be the better choice than
mucking with EH behaviors.

Thank you.
