I would agree with Adair, Torrent is a non-issue for us. We have seen more
complaints from Windows Update and Xbox Live Updates impacting customers
connections, meaning they call in and say “I am paying for 20 Meg service and
when I run a speed test I am only seeing 2 Meg Down or wny is my Netflix
buffering”. We go and look and they will have a windows update running in the
background taking 18-19 Meg of their connection up and you have to explain that
to them, same way with Xbox accept all our gamers have our 50 Meg plan and it
will chew up 30 to 40 Meg downloading an update or game. Luckily, we can
manage this with our Procera now so we don’t hear from customers as much.

Because it's the fair thing to do. As a neighbour I would greatly appreciate it.

I want to be able to throttle torrent users. Beyond that, I don't think it
will affect us much in areas of high-competition.

Nothing. It wasn't mayhem in the decades before 2015 and it won't suddenly
become a problem now. The big guys are always going to try some crap until
someone calls them on it, "net neutrality" or not.
