Your forgetting the fact that almost all other UK isp's already throttle P2P in some shape or form. I use torrents fairly often and if i have to accept slower speeds during peak times to allow others in my area to use their connection for gaming or skype etc then that is fair. There is a limited bandwith and as long as everyone has their fair share of whats available then that is fine by me.

Nobody knows the basis on which this shaping will happen there are no details of what triggers there will be or for how long it will last so passing judgment now is foolish !
