throttling is throttling, I actually believe protocol throttling to be worse as it punishes select people only. So people just web browsing get the impression the service isnt throttling. Facts remain however, the basis of BTs complaint was peple on VM could not download music and videos fast at peak, the same applies to BT as that would be affected by the protocol throttling.

BT advertise a generic speed which would cover p2p.
