Luckily for us the law determines are rights and obligations under contract. When I signed my contract traffic shaping wasn't a term. (unlike with Sky, who specifically say you will be moved to heavy users if >120gb a month).

Furthermore, in practice their 'traffic shaping' doesn't work. It slows down everyone in certain areas during prime time. If they only slowed down during prime time I would have no problems with that (apart from the legal one). I mean who the hell cares if anyone downloads heavily in the middle of the night? It doesn't effect the network.
