I would like to see some evidence of the problems O2 are alleging. i don’t believe that P2P is having much of an effect when compared with audio and video streaming services like the BBC iPlayer.

And another thing is that you can stream bittorrent video so by blocking bittorrent they are blocking streaming video. There has already been some bad pr about an isp blocking bittorrent then later finding out that it was a streaming video of some charity event. I think I read the story on torrent freak. Its been a while so a google search could pull it up prob.

Many ISPs do the same, some throttle only P2P, others throttle more. British Telecom and the Carphone Warehouse companies (AOL UK, Talk Talk and Tiscali) are probably the worst but others who throttle at peak times include Virgin, Sky and many, many others. Sky do have one completely unlimited package but it is NOT cheap. Silversurfer, O2 are NOT the first to start doing this. Many ISPs do the same, some throttle only P2P, others throttle more.

In the UK ISPs either put their own equipment in the exchanges (LLU) or they use British Telecoms network to get to their own (IPStream) in exchanges that have not been LLU enabled yet. O2 will only be throttling those customers who's exchange has not been enabled for O2s LLU network. O2s own LLU network is unaffected (at least at the moment). Not strictly true.

Then they would not be allowed to throttle encrypted data.

We've had to deal with this for many years now and it is just not going away.
