I suspect it's already begun - a work colleague was downloading a Linux distro via uTorrent and found his connection would drop out right at the beginning and every so often after that. This only happened when using uTorrent.

Then a friend was downloading DS ROMs days later and found the same thing. Both are with Virgin :evil:

VM have said that it is because they plan on opening a music store and want to see what the demand might be like. Well just ask your customers then! They will have to be considerably cheaper to switch me away from iTunes or CDs.
