Re: Looks like a good way to get your service canceled
I could see having the cable company cancel your service, due to violation of their AUP. I would imagine that most have a clause similar to the following:
The Internet is known as a "shared resource", and Road Runner accounts operate accordingly using these resources. Excessive use or abuse of these shared network resources by one customer may have a negative impact on all other customers. Misuse of network resources in a manner, which impairs network performance, is prohibited by this policy and may result in termination of your account. This includes, but is not limited to:
Running any web, FTP, HTTP, chat, nntp, mail, DHCP, game, Gateway, proxy or other server from home, regardless of content or purpose.
Consistently using an excessive amount of bandwidth, as determined by Cox Road Runner personnel.
Circumventing their speed caps would probably constitute "misuse of network resources" in some manner.
BTW, the above AUP comes from Cox Cable Road Runner's pathetic service in the Northern Virginia area.
