Unless I am mistaken, and I might be as I am not intricately familiar with the specifics of the technology, but Arbor Ellacoya DPI that Shaw employs (in some markets, not Calgary) only restricts the flow of torrent packets. What is your reasoning behind it affecting all traffic?
I am not claiming that my knowledge is infallible here. If there are tests that can suggest that DPI is the culprit instead of the network choking due to bandwidth use, then I honestly would like to know.
I will look into the specifics of Arbor Ellacoya later on though, I am very interested.
