| I got one from CableVision (OOL) Yep I got one of these. I am currently 'investigating'
What really burns me up is I got two letters..simultaneously. The second not only alluded to a file I never ever downloaded, it was on a system I never ever use (edonkey) and neither the MAC address nor the IP address corresponded to mine. Obviously a mixup of their mail merge software, but it really scared me that I got mistakenly tagged with a possible violation, (and potentially OTHERS) and should push come to shove with the copyright holder receiving the info from the ISP, the burden would be on me to correct the record.
I sent a letter to them explaining this. It should be simple to sort out given the MAC/IP mismatches, but who knows.....

| ...it was on a system I never ever use (edonkey)... Many P2P clients support multiple P2P protocols allowing them to download from different file sharing networks. File list servers make it possible to download and/or share files from the eDonkey network without realizing that you are doing so. |

Are you running your own wireless net? |

| Nope. All hardwired. No MAC spoofing. On OOL, the MAC address of the MODEM is tracked, not any PC on the network.
Since I also do quite a bit of gaming, I just about always know my PUBLIC IP address. It actually doesn't change that frequently either, so I KNOW that I NEVER was assigned the IP in question.
THAT PARTICULAR FILE WAS NEVER DL FROM MY MODEM!
