Square enix, Stop this.

Eh.. I disagree. There's a registry mod you can do that will allow you to send / receive any amount of data at what ever rate your ISP issued your speed.

And how does one go about changing this ?

Its the first I have heard of it.

And It is latency.. that is WHAT latency is.

It's not quite that simple.

1) Network latency - the latency you get from sending data from your computer to a server
2) Server latency - the latency created by processing of data on a server.

2 is what we currently have the biggest issue with, its the whole reason we are getting new servers.
