Those things are real.
I have seen #1 myself (comcast at home, I don't live in Qwest
territories), easy to bypass with 587 (submission) - which clients
should use anyway I feel.
#2 hasn't happened (I don't torrent very often)
#3 I blogged about:
http://blogs.iphouse.net/mike/2008/08/comcast-implements-bandwidth-cap-network-still-sucks/
go me - I wasn't first, but I had me some opinions to post about.
I see regular outages on Comcast in the late night timeframe, between
midnightish to 1:30amish.
So much so, I decided to try out their new 30M/5M service over DOCSIS3
service - and guess what?
Same outage pattern...but uploading seems to be 10Mbps instead of the
5Mbps I am supposed to get. Nice for work!
