Its possible they may shape by inspecting headers and not just blanket across ports but then if people start encrypting their p2p they would probably just shape anything above 1024 as p2p and a few hundred ports below 1024 as well. People in congested areas like myself may actually benefit from shaping in terms of browsing and as other stuff such as ftp is slow anyway the shaping may or may not be worse.

Those of you in areas which dont have much contention will probably be affected more by shaping.
