Are you kidding me you haven't a clue what this will do!!
Avoid the temptation to blame any and all new service problems on traffic shaping. Is there a possibility that you and your buddy are "testing" the same FTP server? Have you tried FTPing to other places? Have you done a speed test to verify that your connections are in fact working properly?
It would be very foolish for TW to inhibit FTP uploads as that's THE standard mechanism to upload files to websites or work servers. The cliche advertising bullet, "uploadng family pictures and videos to personnal websites" would be inhibited by such a block, and I would think they'd see massive backlash from users and telecommuters who pay Premium prices to have good upload ability.

[TWC] TW Officially Announces Packet Shaping for All RR Users
I've been waiting for this day to come. All of you who complained about the speed being horrible at night, I'm curious to find out whether those problems will disappear or will still be there. 
Looks like I won't have any problems getting too websites during high traffic times as only the people "wasting bandwidth" will be getting their data packet shaped. Thanks TWC.
