Oh and give an undertaking to accept no new connections to near-capacity UBRs and cancel their entire advertising and marketing budget.
Some would also suggest that it would be sensible for the entire board to resign but -- call me a softy! -- I'd not go quite that far. Just the CEO's severed head on stick would placate me.

In reality they are much more likely to take a leaf out of Comcasts book and try to disable, through forged re-directs I think, all bittorrent traffic on the network and cure their lack of bandwidth problem in one foul swoop.
Although of course they may be too strapped for cash to obtain the necessary software/hardware to pursue even this avenue of attack.
