pistolpower: So are you saying that its wrong that people where pirating stuff for free on free data. But you didnt say its wrong that they do it now even when they pay. So are you saying its ok that they pirate stuff if they pay but not if its free? Nor did they stop. So in the end it only decreased the ammount that they would pirate. And if it was about that then they would say that they will be blocking all p2p traffic in an attempt to reduce pirating for the greater good.

No, Xnet have said many times that they could install deep packet inspection servers which could give torrents lower priority than other traffic (increasing the experience for us non-torrenters), but they have taken the stance that you pay per Gb, and what you do with it is up to you.

Unfortunately, is the ol' adage of if its free it will be abused.  Some people took the free national traffic too far, and the rest of us have to suffer because of it.
