I don't play online games or use BitTorrent so it doesn't affect me, though I was interested to follow it up and found this page.

According to the article above, TalkTalk's policy is:

"We restrict P2P activity in peak hours to make sure that other general Internet use takes priority (including surfing, email, shopping, gaming and commercial downloads). Between midnight and 8am we allow a greater proportion of P2P traffic."

Is this similar to other ISPs?

Great. So they restrict access to the most popular online FPS (counter strike) and one of the best selling single player games (Half Life 2) to *improve* the service for gamers...
