This isn't Verizon regulating things but could be an issue if you are seeding a large number of popular torrents.
The popular conspiracy theory is that Verizon purposely crippled the firmware on the Actiontec to limit P2P on their network and/or that they're slow to issue a fix for it because of the aforementioned reason. I don't buy into that theory at all.

only on dsl would have a limit
Even on DSL, I don't think they implement traffic shaping. I have a friend that lives across town that still has DSL - routinely downloads from BT, Usenet and Winny without any problems at high speeds.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18891296 Thu, 16 Aug 2007 23:38:02 EDT Re: bit torrent and fios http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18891225 blue_trooper : I've seen some talk on these boards that the ActionTec router has some performance issues with large numbers (e.g. 100) of simultaneous connections. This isn't Verizon regulating things but could be an issue if you are seeding a large number of popular torrents. The solution appears to be using an alternative router.

YMMV.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18891225 Thu, 16 Aug 2007 23:25:34 EDT Re: bit torrent and fios http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18891117 BryanOnRR : nope

No traffic shaping, no capping (unlike some other ISPs).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18890797 Thu, 16 Aug 2007 22:26:41 EDT bit torrent and fios http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18890342 andranic : I have been hearing that verizon is regulating people and bit torrent is there any truth to that?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18890342 Thu, 16 Aug 2007 21:24:22 EDT
