Is Google Fiber cool with bittorrent, ED2K, or other filesharing protocols? (ani.social)

I'm considering getting Google Fiber for internet service, because it's about to become available in my area.

Are the Google Fiber admins cool with filesharing protocols?

Or do they strangle traffic, ban people for filesharing, etc?

Seems OK with BT in the sense they do not throttle traffic etc. Using basic prevention measures like private trackers and port randomization will get you far here. If you are using public torrent sites I would probably use a seedbox or torrent friendly VPS host... Then your ISP will only see SSH traffic from your machine to the box.
