Request for information: ISPs and P2P throttling

Country: Sweden

- BT Infinity 2
- UK, South-East
- Almost immediately after 7pm GMT

I actually got a call back from BT earlier today when I was at work (missed it but they left a voicemail) after I sent them an email, and all they told me was I had to renew my contract with them in order for them to stop throttling A Realm Reborn and other P2P, which I think is ridiculous! They act as if they are completely powerless to stop throttling on my existing Infinity 2 connection yet tell me to renew and *wizz-bang* they won't throttle me anymore?! Total bulls**t.

ISP: BT

Country of residence: England

When does the problem occur: 7pm - 11pm. Others with BT haven't however stated any issues over the weekend. This is probably because we've yet to hit a proper weekend of playing (discount early access, we all know it was barely accessible).
However, I did manage to get in to play on Sunday evening and this was when I first noticed my down time. According to the BT website (http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/d...andusagepolicy), 'peak times' for the weekend is 9am to midnight, which is basically the whole day.
