The policy is enforced only after the copyright holder contacts the university directly with a person who is in violation, and evidence of the Violation. They in no way police the network. Also, the university only throttled the bandwidth allowed by p2p apps after the network would come to a crawl. The policy isn't bull. The policy is designed to protect the university and to inform students and users of the punishments. They do not get people for using p2p. They get people for being caught violating copyrights.
Ping times aren't really affected by the Internet 2 pipes if you are connecting to the commodity internet to do the ping...which you would be doing for yahoo. And if you all hate the pipe being eaten up by filesharing....throttle it.... I am at UNC-Chapel Hill and we share a commodity internet link with Duke and NC State, along with some other schools, and there are Kazaa traffic limits, of the those filters came down one night and the whole thing went to h311!
