However, I believe uTorrent and Azereus can encrypt your packets so ISPs (for now) cannot decipher it as torrent/p2p traffic. They can however send you an angry letter informing you that your contract actually has a download limit per month.
Well see, here's the thing: I have 6MB downloads, not 1.5.

The 1.31MB download read I got from speakeasy. It got no where near 6MB.

I should be getting 500-700Kbps on downloads, easy. My Uploads I guess are fine but whatever.

I could always switch to Azureus (<3 bulky software) and flip on that encryption to see if it will go up a bit.

...I can handle letters
