So in other words, if my torrent client uses 20mpbs on a 20mbps connection, ISP should have no issues with it. From what I understand, bandwidth costs have come down considerably over the years and to think of strategies like throttling kind of defeats the purpose of advertised high bandwidths. Instead of throttling, why not limit the connection max speeds to the good old days of 2mbps. That way the ISPs would have enough bandwidth to allocate all and they don't have to worry about someone using torrent client. Point is many buy high bandwidth with sole purpose of only one thing and that thing is download so throttling these very customers is not a good idea.
