let me not answer that in relation to the poll but just answer the questions posed
1. Not really, you can get MORE connections on torrents but its not all open,t heres still some sort of shaping with p2p
2. not unless you want to download 9GB a month at 1mbit through http
3) nope, i have had an up and down experience for about 3 days now, but that might be iburst trouble all round, i'd say on the whole its the same package but you get 9GB
