I don't think people will cancel their accounts but will instead opt for lower quota/speed plans to save some money. For gaming, downloading the usual patches, service packs, etc, broadband is still the only way to go. A 256K plan would be more than adequate for such purposes.
P2P (I include NG's here, if not strictly p2p) has been one of the 'killer apps' that make broadband a commodity worth paying big bucks for. ISP's have known this and were quite happy to accept payment for users of their infrastructure to download 'warez'. Note, I do not say that they explicitly condone this, just that they are aware of it.
As for me, it's all good. arrr me hearties!
