I wouldn't worry yet. Given that there is limited bandwidth available (for whatever reason) then it's better to reserve some for latency-critical (VOIP) and bandwidth-critical (on-demand) traffic.

Whether VM consider Vonage and BBC/4OD to be worthy of protection is another matter, but it seems likely that they'll prefer them to non-commercial torrents.

When VM release the full details (and I hope they will), the arguments can start in earnest.
