How is using what you pay for abuse?  In both instances described, the customer 
is using a large chunk of their bandwidth, but not using more than the plan 
alots.

Good story. This is the stuff that people don't understand. Policy enforcement 
is good for everyone, including the enforcee! Net neutrality, as imagined by 
it's staunch supporters, is a really bad idea. They imagine it's about "big 
corporate" stifling competition and innovation but the very real everyday 
impact of real "neutrality" would be normal people suffering poor service so 
the geeky few could pay less for their consumption and no back pressure on 
abuse.

I would agree with Adair, Torrent is a non-issue for us.  We have seen more 
complaints from Windows Update and Xbox Live Updates impacting customers 
connections, meaning they call in and say “I am paying for 20 Meg service and 
when I run a speed test I am only seeing 2 Meg Down or wny is my Netflix 
buffering”.  We go and look and they will have a windows update running in the 
background taking 18-19 Meg of their connection up and you have to explain that 
to them, same way with Xbox accept all our gamers have our 50 Meg plan and it 
will chew up 30 to 40 Meg downloading an update or game.  Luckily, we can 
manage this with our Procera now so we don’t hear from customers as much.

Because it's the fair thing to do. As a neighbour I would greatly appreciate it.

I want to be able to throttle torrent users.  Beyond that, I don't think it 
will affect us much in areas of high-competition.

Nothing. It wasn't mayhem in the decades before 2015 and it won't suddenly 
become a problem now. The big guys are always going to try some crap until 
someone calls them on it, "net neutrality" or not.
