They need smart filtering like other isps that give pritory to important traffic like iptv and voip and less importance to mass download at peek like p2p (i use p2p as much as anybody else but i make sure i download in the morning so i have peak speed)

Or they could just do what Sky have done, Provide a big fat over kill of a fibre back haul and just open up all pipes. No traffic management at all at anytime, No usage limits, No traffic shaping its just one big free for all...

Oh and they also offer a "gamers" profile, all for the massive sum of £7.50 a month.
