I think, but can't prove, that ISP do this to share out their bandwidth and, hand on heart, say that they do not throttle P2P. Because non-throttling ISPs know that a lot of their current customers have transfered over to them from ISPs that do throttle P2P activity and they do not want to alienate or loose their P2P using customers, hence partial throttling.
