As soon as someone figures out a way to make every computer it's own wireless isp server, no one will need to pay for it again... (sigh) hope for the future.

In KSA they even blok the sites directly, like in china, which ofcoz does not work very well, since you can still get through their systems. Anywho in Denmark 1 of the broadband hosts are also limiting the connections for ISP, but the major host is actually both half funded/controlled by the state but is also hosting p2p servers mostly DC servers...Even thou the state it self is not very happy for that part but they can't do much about it, so the don't..LOL I’m using multiple proxies from time to time, and I can say for sure that blocking is very commen.

Bittorrent clients connect to many IPs and start downloading the file from them, if thats how it works - then how could they block/delay bitorrent is it by blocking those IPs, that would be real hard or is itby some other way.

Theres only two options for your internet plan, either it gets shapped to 64kbps or you pay stupidly high amounts for "excess / over quota" GB. If the USA is having issues with people abusing their "unlimited" bandwidth maybe rather then playing with the traffic they should set limits too? Mines, ADSL2+ 40GB a month, after that im back to 64kbps/128kbps. Personaly I think AU needs more bandwidth to USA/Asia then the limits could be moved up to say 100GB for the same price :) Australia does not have bittorrent blocking because ISPs have download limits on their plans.

Typical ISP traffic shaping is more passive. Dozens of you are missing the point when you say your traffic is also shaped.
