Is it that easy for you to put words in my mouth? Where did I say that Skype, OpenOffice, or Linux were "ISP abuse"?

Technically Comcast's traffic shaping throttles upstream p2p traffic for all users regardless of consumption.
Except for business customers I believe. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I can turn lose my BT and keep a 24/7 max upload all week then one would assume either I'm the only person in my city with Comcast (unlikely) or they are only doing this to residential customers and not business customers.

Ok. You only need to worry about caps and P2P restrictions if you want to abuse the system 24/7 and seed files via P2P.
I wasn't aware Skype, OpenOffice, and Linux distros fell into the range of "ISP abuse". Thanks for clearing that up!
