Your problem is not unique, in fact the senario you just relayed is happening all over the world and, surprise, surprise, happened to me as well.
In my case, my ISP (at the time) would not answer any questions about bandwidth shaping but still expected me, as an avid P2P user, to pay the same high premium rates they charged before they started to throttle P2P usage.
I believe the powers that be (the record and film industry representatives) are trying to kill off the P2P network by applying behind the scene pressure to ISPs. You see, these fat cats want to protect their profit margins by declaring this "undeclared war" and they will use any means at their disposal, including seeding the network with fake files, viruses and worms.
