By definition, all streaming above a couple hundred Kbps requires a network subsidy (aka boost) to meet QOS requirements. The primary pain point for ISPs (not always obvious) is that 90%+ of the P2P traffic coming to any given peer comes from off-net, thanks to the Random Graph algorithm inherent in most BT derivatives. Traffic that is localized within the ISP network is far cheaper and mostly under-the-radar.
