As I understand it, more is shared with cable than with ADSL.  In
theory that means that things like traffic shaping on ADSL could vary
by ISP (but Bell has chosen not to do that) whereas it is likely
traffic shaping policies need to be the same for all ISPs.

Rogers does (did?) do traffic shaping.  Certainly my bittorrent
upstream rates were horrible.  (I only use bittorrent for Linux CDs,
so it cannot be to fight copyright violations.)  I felt more ethical
using bittorrent than straight downloading, but I don't generally
bother with BT any more unless forced.
