From my experience, the Internet IP Transit Bandwidth costs ISP's a lot
more than the margins made on Broadband lines.
So users who rarely use their connection are more profitable to the ISP.
We used the Cisco Service Control Engine (SCE) to throttle P2P
bandwidth.

That might be your reality.
My reality is that people with 8/1 ADSL download twice as much as they=20
upload, people with 10/10 upload twice as much as they download.
