The true answer is NO, it is not because it slow down the internet but rather the TMNet is unwilling to pay for the bandwidth. TMNet is paying for the bandwidth and since they can't control HTTP as it is the main protocol uses for web browsing; also, they cannot control streaming video and multimedia either. So the logical step is to control P2P to boost their earning.
According to article of interview with Danny McPherson, CTO of Arbor Networks, 70% of the internet traffic is on HTTP while about 20% is using P2P. If you do the math, if TMNet stop P2P totally, they actually saving the bandwidth cost and in term increase their earning by 20%. On the hand, if they claimed that P2P slow down the internet, it is true in certain sense but not till the point that it happened on TMNet network. It is no doubt that TMNet is having problem but refused to admit it and just take the easy way out and start blaming the users.
Have you ever wonder, what kind of corporation will blame the customers of their inefficiency and incapability? TMNet really earning themselves a bad rep. Monopoly is never good thing for the consumer, this real life incident has proven it again.
