That is why they installed Fiber to the curb (to my area at least). This was mentioned to me by a Bell tech.

As streaming video grows far faster, P2P's share of the bandwidth pie is shrinking rapidly. By 2012, streaming video such as YouTube will make up 50% of net traffic (I believe that was in the Ars article), making P2P less important.
