I wouldn't be surprised to hear about AT&T throttling at the backbone level. wether they admit it or not I think all ISPs throttle bittorrent.

As for the Europeans not getting throttled... on average Europe has much slower speeds on average than in the USA so of course bandwidth is not a problem like it is in the USA. Not to mention I believe that many ISPs in Europe are already more restrictive on monthly bandwidth and such too so if there's a hard cap then throttling is not needed. And the pricing is different too I think but I'm not as familiar on European ISP pricing practices.

Even FiOS doesn't offer that yet. Europe does not have slower internet than the U.S. Sweden is the land where 100/100 is typical. Even FiOS doesn’t offer that yet.
