These people getting cut off are using BT quit heavily so what do you expect?

music studios and video labs - most certainly and there service contracts would specify large file transfer over VPN etc , but this is about home users - and no home user could justify transfering 80 gig a month - gaming isn`t near that.

Maybe you just have a limited ability to comprehend what usage is going on. Is that cause for you immediately and arrogantly assume that it's illegal content?
It's such people, with small mindedness, and limited exposure to the world that would limit our lives.

A recent analysis of the latest P2P trends wordwide shows that BitTorrent is still the most popular filesharing protocol. BitTorrent traffic is still on the rise and responsible for 50-75% of all P2P traffic and roughly 40% of all Internet traffic.
Ipoque reports in a preview of their 2007 P2P survey that BitTorrent is generating between 50-75% of all P2P traffic.P2P traffic is responsible for 50%-90% of all Internet traffic which means that BitTorrent traffic is generating somewhere between 25% and 65% of all Internet traffic.
According to Ipoque, the peer-to-peer network traffic
represents 30 percent of the total Internet traffic recorded every day and 70 percent of the night traffic.
