Re: BS

Huh? They aren't throttling just the "hogs". They hammering all of the users regardless of how much they're using.

And you can't be a bandwidth hog if you have caps. That's the whole point of having the monthly caps. Cox should enforce the cap on anyone they feel is causing them the trouble instead of stopping customers from using legitimate services because Cox is unable to supply the speeds they advertise.

clubs:		 I agree with you. Seems to me, they can't support the caps they already have in place. Smoke and mirrors.

The saddest part is that Cox has no problem supplying the speeds they advertise to most of their customers. (at least in the markets in which I'm a customer) They never have, in my experience, although I've read of problems in some markets prior to my becoming a customer there.

Huntington Beach, CA		 P2P users are having problems getting the speeds they advertise.

Cox implementing this...another layer of network management implies that if they don't, they won't be able to supply advertised speeds. Otherwise why do it?
