clubs:  | Re: A bit pricey for cable. I can't believe people would actully pay for the family plan. Apparently they do not know of routers.
My freind has Cox cable and he is under a cap, but breaks it daily. Since his router masks his IP, cox has yet to write him a letter. | |

| Re: A bit pricey for cable. You don't honestly believe that Cox doesn't know what your buddy is using, do you? No router can hide one's usage from the ISP one uses. No device can.

| Re: A bit pricey for cable. that's correct; how would masking the IP do anything? the data passes through the ISP's network eventually, so they'll be able to measure it then. it is possible that this guy's network is setup to assign multiple IP's from the cable modem, which really defeats a main purpose of having a router in the first place, and the modem is acting as a switch between the LAN. in this case, your modem stats will reflect total LAN usage, both locally and to the net. in any case, the ISP can see the modem's stats, and so nothing is hid anyway.
