And it's not just BitTorrent. Net neutrality hasn't existed in a broad sense for SMTP for years now. Anyone's who maintained a mail server will know of seemingly arbitrary IP filtering between data centers, network wide tarpitting and throttling, and all sorts of hoops you need to jump through to reliably deliver mail.

Further, many ISPs over the years have blocked port 80 in or transparently proxied port 25 (or even port 80) through their own servers. I'm not necessarily against this but I think it should be a legal requirement for ISPs to share information about what they're doing so we can choose ISPs that fit in with our requirements.
