Many UK ISPs are restricting traffic on P2P ports and are implementing download caps on their ADSL lines too. I pay £25 which works out as ~$43 a month. For this I get max of 2Mb down and 256Kb up. This is changing at the end of the month to 8Mb MAX down and 786Kb MAX down (this is rate adaptive to suit the quality of your line). I'm also limited to 50GB of downloads a month between 08:00 and 00:00 (00:00 to 08:00 is un-metered). Boy would I like the deal you are getting...
