Call me paranoid, but I wonder if Phorm's clickstream profiler could identify bittorrent traffic?
Somebody shoot that idea down please? Quickly?

Although of course they may be too strapped for cash to obtain the necessary software/hardware to pursue even this avenue of attack.

I presume there are cable versions of Ellcoya filters?

This is all so reminiscent of the beginning of Pipex's demise years ago.
I'm wracking my brain to remember what they did next...

The first one I bought for my then employer cost over £200 -- a bloody fortune in those days...
But, my, was it fast!
