Re: Link to original story mentioned here I believe this is actually a fairly common network management practice in European (and possibly other) markets. For example, "SamKnows" did a study of UK ISPs last summer that revealed this behavior in a some UK ISPs. (SamKnows is used extensively by Ofcom, the UK equivalent of the FCC.) You can find this study here if you are interested: »www.samknows.com/broadband/pm/PM···r_08.pdf - see page 43's conclusions.
A year and a half ago when we developed our new congestion management system, we looked at this style of system, where all non-HTTP traffic is throttled to a set speed at certain peak hours -- and we took a different path as many of you know.

The Swedish IPRED law seems to have had interesting effects on traffic patterns, and has helped to invigorate apps like Spotify and other services. »torrentfreak.com/anti-piracy-law···-090402/
