In section 2, part I, it says

In other words, they are limiting the amount of bandwidth you can use for browsing(As well as VOIP and gaming traffic) and email purposes(Which just about accounts for all of the traffic on the internet right now).

Edit:

Also in section 3 it says that Verizon is free to limit the amount of bandwidth you are allowed to use for Usenet.
