QOS was put in by the IETF for a reason and I think this is it.
Why not provide priority service to applications that will be most negatively affected by congestion?
We all know that latency sensitive apps like voip or gaming suffer or become useless when there is congestion (which we all know exisits in every consumer network...) whereas taking 35 minutes vs 30 minutes to dowcload a 2 hour movie...
Seems like just good old fashion engineering to me and I think is quite better than the comcast approach of slowing all apps for 20 minutes.

Ahh we,we. mercy.
Should we expect the mobile carriers to play a role here?
Seems to me that they should be able to see anomalous traffic and shut it down. Nest Pa?
Does your ISP have a role to play here?
