We may take those actions WITHOUT notice to Customer or any other User.

That terms of service was taken out of context. I don't think that's what it really meant.

Go ahead and quote the TOS. We all know it is filled with double speak and vague language. According to the TOS of most ISP's, the following could be illegal:

- routers
- downloading too much (subject to to the whims of the ISP)
- P2P (legal or illegal)
- email (amounts and content)
- IM programs (since they can be "servers")

Shall I go on?
