Hi, has anyone ever heard of this or used it to screen p2p activities from your ISP?

ISP's in SA dont care about us downloading international content, the issue is when we upload local content.

So does that mean they shape/throttle us regardless?

That could depend on a combination of your ISP, package, time of day, average usage, network congestion etc.
But in general yes, ISPs usually shape p2p traffic. There's ways to work around the shaping though.

MWEB: Throttle when a certain amount is downloaded regardless of content.

Afrihost Non Business:

We want our Uncapped Internet experience to be the best it can be. In order to do this we manage our network by prioritising the different kinds of traffic used.
There are two main types of traffic that you can use when connected to the Internet:

Instant, Realtime traffic protocols such as: Web browsing (HTTPS); Live Streaming (YouTube); Secure browsing (HTTPS); VOIP; Email; Terminal services (SSH)
Non-Realtime Downloading protocols such as: HTTP Downloads (downloading a file from your browser), Torrents (BitTorrent), News servers (NNTP)

In general, peak times on our network are between 08h00 and 0h00 every day. This means that non-Realtime services will be shaped on a sliding scale, with higher bandwidth users getting shaped more than lower bandwidth users, and the higher bandwidth users will not get full speeds during these times for non-Realtime services (Realtime services will continue at full speeds).
Generally, after midnight and before 08h00 each day, non-Realtime traffic will be less shaped (or not at all) and you will get the fastest speed your Telkom line (and the network) allows.
