Good ISP for torrent downloads???

I have had verizon for a couple of years now, and have never had any problems with downloading torrents (slow speeds, letters from isp, etc).

I am moving soon and verizon does not have FIOS service is my new area. I was thinking of getting comcast or AT&T, but recently heard
lots of bad stories about them.

Inserting packets to slow torrent downloads to a crawl, joining and cooperating with the MPAA and RIAA, send letters warning users, etc. Can anyone with comcast or AT&T internet tell me if this is true? If so, what ISP would you recommend?

Thanks in advance for any advise.

All ISPs cooperate with the MPAA and RIAA.
It is just a question of whether the MPAA/RIAA people catch your IP on a torrent for copyrighted content.

The Comcast inserting packets issue is pretty much over (and was exaggerated to begin with). I use Comcast 6Mb connection and quite often get near my max speed.
