downloading, or streaming of audio or video programming or games; (ii)
server devices or host computer applications, including, but not
limited to, Web camera posts or broadcasts, automatic data feeds,
automated machine to-machine connections or peer-to-peer (P2P) file-
sharing; or (iii) as a substitute or backup for private lines or
dedicated data connections. This means, by way of example only, that
checking email, surfing the Internet, downloading legally acquired
songs, and/or visiting corporate intranets is permitted, but
downloading movies using P2P file-sharing services and/or redirecting
television programming content for viewing on laptops is prohibited. A
person engaged in prohibited uses continuously for one hour could
typically use 100 to 200 MB, or, if engaged in prohibited uses for 10
hours a day, 7 days a week, could use more than 5 GB in a month."

So, its all but a useless service in my mind. I'm a software
engineer, who commutes into the city... I need Internet for my job.


They are just trying to protect themselves from someone firing up a P2P program and running it 24x7.
