Peer to peer services tend to mean p2p sharing - certainly in my
experience in a network admin role. I've no idea if mobile networks
take a different stand on it.

Most capped cost/all-you-can-eat/unlimited data bundles exclude p2p
(sharing) as these usually are high bandwidth applications.

I'm on T-Mobile W'n'W and certainly web and mail from my device is
explicitly covered in the unlimited bundle (with things like video
streaming, p2p sharing, instant messaging explicitly excluded). It is
possible they take the same stand as you - I don't know.
