More than the bulk of people using Netflix or YouTube? I mean, yeah it's async
service at the user level, but the connections at the ISP are generally duplex c
onnections. My understanding is that streaming video is the *VAST* majority of
network traffic. Torrents are a bit more bursty, but that can be throttled via
QOS. Not to mention that torrents are often better compressed content than stre
aming video, for compatibility with legacy streaming devices.
