There are already daily traffic quotas in place for the lower tiers.
How any paying customer uses his or her quota should be their own business, besides which, isn't bittorrent usage in decline anyway?
Supposedly but unfortunately none of us live in "the Ideal World" that is just a pipe dream which will never happen!

We tend to live in the "Real World!"
