It was recently shown (and posted here) that at least some ISPs (well, Comcast) forge reset packets from legitimate connections, in order to actively degrade the performance of BitTorrent and possibly other out-of-favour P2P protocols. Such throttling is perceived as considerably more aggressive than simply denying some applications more bandwidth.
From all the way across the hall, loyal reader Daniel L. points out this recently posted report on P2P-maker Vuze's wide survey, intended to measure this phenomenon. The evidence seems pretty damning (for many listed ISPs), although not quite "smoking gun" quality.
