Some WISPs do, some small indies might. Verizon, IIRC, is planning to do this if they get too many copyright infringement complaints about a user (the so-called "six strikes" policy).

Montreal | Breaking an AUP is one thing, and the "six strikes" do not apply in Canada.
No ISP here would be punitive in nature with a speed reduction unless it was laid out in the TOS. |

Some ISPs have it specified in their TOS that speeds would be reduced between x-x timeframe to alleviate congestion |

The six strikes thing is entirely an AUP-defined construction (there's no legal basis for introducing it), and any ISP in Canada who wants to could likely implement it just the same.

the biggest one is probably explorenet and their FAP policy. but it's not a feeling thing, it's a formula based process. I'm sure others due it, and i'm pretty sure others have been caught throttling certain protocols before. |
