And which other ISP's do not admit to throttling P2P applications because of the amount of bandwidth it consumes?

From BT's website

"P2P refers to certain applications that enable files and program sharing between groups of people logged on to a P2P network. Because they use uploads and downloads and are often left running 24/7, they consume significant bandwidth, even when being used by just a small number of customers."
