That's an extremely short-sighted viewpoint. It doesn't matter what people are using it for. It may be primarily torrents today, but other more legitimate things are consuming more and more bandwidth all the time. I would prefer that we don't go down ye olde slippery slope now and end up with some bullshit pricing scheme a few years later that we can't get rid of. The fact is, cable companies market their shit to be used by people who want to pirate. Nobody with half a brain believes that their advertising about "download at 10x the speed of DSL!" is meant for people who use iTunes. They've massively oversold the bandwidth they have available and now they want to blame it on the customers rather than upgrade their infrastructure in a timely manner.
Having said that, I have no sympathy for anyone complaining about this who lives in an area serviced by FIOS. I would switch off of cable and never look back in a heartbeat if I could. The easiest way to tell Comcast and TW they suck is to stop paying them.
