Until resolved - as a landing page (I'll put that in the description as well):
The summary for the workarounds for now is:
You can configure your /etc/ssh/ssh_config permanently
Host *
IPQoS lowdelay throughput
Or per command via:
$ ssh -o IPQoS=throughput user at host
---
Per the other bugs and discussions this seems to affect any VMWare backed hosts which I guess most commonly would be:
- VMware based computing centers
- vagrant users through the vmware backend (see [7])
- home users of VMWare player
We will have to make our decision for Ubuntu the same way Fedora did [1] for themselve.
They decided to keep the change and be broken on VMWare for now.
I'd not like to break users right now already with the soon to be released 19.04.
How are the opinions about for now reverting [2] for 19.04 to give VMWare a chance to fix it up in their products.
We could then get into contact with VMWare (I can do that) that this was a close gap action for just now.
Without such a discussion I'm not sure on this as [3][4] are community discussions but no bug reports, as well as [5] being wrong as it isn't a open-vm-tools bug.
But I'd also make clear that we intend drop that revert in 19.10 and later.
I'm polling a few people for opinions on this change (it is easy to do,
but hard to decide).

Upgrade to Xubuntu 19.04 beta from 18.10
openssh-client
when trying to ssh into another system, following error:
packet_write_wait: Connection to x.x.x.x port 22: Broken pipe
Problem is consistent on trying to connect to various systems.
Can confirm was able to ssh prior to upgrade and can ssh into these
systems from other systems.
Can use putty on this system to ssh into these boxes as well.
