Comcast agreement in dispute with BitTorrent

Comcast is famously known for throttling it's customers bandwidth when they are using p2p applications such as BitTorrent. ISPs have to do what they can to make sure they aren't incurring costs that might result from overusing their services. It makes sense to set limits on any customer's internet activity. But to single out certain activities really gets attention from many individuals. Comcast has decided they will curb BitTorrent bandwidth like they would for YouTube videos and other similar bandwidth-intensive activities.
