If I understand correctly, ISP's are worried about abuse. If that is the case there is NO reason why a customer like myself should be throttled.
I have a 100GB monthly cap with Shaw. On average I use 20-40GB of that bandwidth... far less the 50%. Yet, I know I'm throttled on my on-line gaming experience as well as any torrents I may pull down. Unacceptable in my opinion.
We as customers should not have any bandwidth restrictions UNTIL we are above or "abuse" what we pay for. If I were to use over 100GB of bandwidth in a month, that yes, I would expect to be throttled to no end for "abusing" Shaw's network. Until I hit that number however, any type of tampering with my allotted bandwidth is just bad business.
Nobody should be throttled. If they are it should be to the providers discretion. Not the big company do it to all the smaller companies without telling them.
