Is Google Fiber cool with bittorrent, ED2K, or other filesharing protocols?

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?

Never trust on Google.

While true, the alternatives available to 90% of the country may be much worse.

Honestly I thought Google had stopped rolling out fiber.

Rolling out, yes. Everyone that is already covered in one of their locations doesn't lose service because they're no longer expanding to new neighborhoods. Likewise, moving into one of those neighborhoods makes you a potential customer.
