even if it doesn't specifically state it, P2P is setting up server, so it can fall under this.
I think comcast just states a data limit, but I wouldn't be surprised if they had that kind of clause too
Either side could defend it. The IP could say oh its client server. Users could say no its peer to peer. Nobody is a server. Everyone is a peer node. P2P isn't 'client' 'server'. Except at the same time it is.
