It is knid of interesting what they came up with.
Yes, an ISP has a right to control traffic on their network. BUT they cannot throttle traffic that is time sensitive (VOIP), and they can't throttle to the point where it "blocks or controls" the data. So they can slow down a torrent since that type of traffic isn't generally time sensitive, but they can't slow it down so much that it becomes useless.
It looks like they are trying hard to balance. I guess I'll take a wait and see approach.
