First of all, this is RETARDED... you are guaranteed internet access, not FAST internet access.

However, since I love a good hijink, the way I would go about this is pretty simple. If you wreck his internet access, he will notice that he has no internet access and will work to fix it (ie to undermine your efforts). If you make it less obvious that you are restricting him, you have a better chance of him not noticing, therefore getting away with it longer.

With that in mind, I believe most modern routers can restrict bandwidth by port, if so, it should be relatively simple to determine what port his Bittorrent traffic goes through, then throttle it back to 50 or 75kb/s and he'll be none the wiser.
