Kevin, you have to read that last sentence very carefully:

"but said it manages its bandwidth to provide the best possible experience for its customers."

A very tacit way of admitting that they use tools to shape the responses, potentially on different ports and types of traffic.

Jace, I think that if you are in a network segment where there are a ton of people running P2P programs, you may be getting roped in with them. The systems in place are likely padding down ALL P2P traffic, and you just happen to have some of it.

Bittorrents attempt to move to mainstream is great, but in the end, distributed distribution is just a way for a company to be able to sell a product cheaper because all the other ISPs are getting dragging into providing bandwidth for nothing.
