Open an ISP Account with a Fictitious Name

This whole throttling and cancelling service idea is easily overcome. ISP's do not verify identity of new account holders. They don't insist on a drivers license or ID card when someone calls them to open a new account. Therefore, if someone's ISP account is throttled or cancelled they can simply open a new account with the same (or another) ISP under a new (fictitious) name.

Sorry but many ISPs know my ISP( Charter ) won't allow you to open a new account at the same address that quickly.

It might not work because you are still in the same address. Now, if the person moves AND create another account, then it might work.

In my state the big two verizon and cox both require a credit check run requiring a VALID SS number and matching name. If you open the account in person a state ID / license is required .
