Obviously you don't live in Canada.
Over here, all the major ISPs do DPI to throttle torrents and about 6 months back the only way to not be throttled was to go with a smaller DSL ISP that leased lines from Bell. Then, one day, Bell turned around and started doing DPI on wholesale client lines and throttling their torrent traffic too. Some people raised a stink about it and it got to the CRTC for a decision and, in typical CRTC fashion, they issued a non-decision that essentially said DPI should only be used when necessary. Nothing changed. It's now impossible* to get an internet line that doesn't throttle torrents in most of Canada.
* Not impossible to run torrents without being throttled though, you just have to set Azureus to its "RC5 encryption" settings and Bell won't be able to analyze your packets though this will break any private trackers that don't use https (most do).
