Re: [OK] Cox doesn't mess with Bittorrent traffic, does it? Caps are loosely enforced,
If they are you will get a warning email to yoour primary cox.net account....
Continued abuse would prob lead to account termination..
But like I said, Caps are VERY loosely enforced |

If they're too ignorant/stupid to configure their routers then thats their problem. most of em are Qwest DSL and two are standard cox(preferred).

I assume that's standard practice for repeat offenders cuz this guy treated high bandwidth use as some sort of badge of honor.
