Agreed, altough I don't think p2p is sucking up the bandwidth. On-line gaming is a huge bandwidth hog.
Hahaha, you made me spit coke on my keyboard.

WRONG. Online games take up VERY LITTLE bandwidth. We're talking the most bandwidth intensive games run 1/10th of a mbit on average. (FPS type, ie BF2)

Common misconception.

WoW uses about .5KB/sec, or ~4Kbps in and out.
