They could keep it on a monthly tally so you could for example check how many times you hit the throttling in the month, and then you could adjust your limits that way. It might take a few months of tweaking for it the user to manage to get it just so though.

I don't regularly hit STM but when I do - I deal with it. Gaming doesn't use THAT much bandwidth usually. I can use XBL for ages before STM kicks in and I'm only on 2mb!

Simple answer is - Don't torrent while gaming and vice versa, as its torrenting that causes latency as it uses (in default settings) all of the available bandwidth from what I understand.

Ask yourself "Do I really need that Linux Distro right now? Or can it wait until I'm finished on COD4?"
