If that's the case, then they probably won't give you a strike just because the MPAA says so. I think with Cox, they just want to be overly cautious so they don't have any risks. It does make them less desirable as an ISP. If I'd have known they would be this anal, I would have found someone else to carry me a long time ago. Anyway, the statistics are that one out of every four internet users regularly uses file-sharing of some type, so it's not like it's some rare thing out there.

Fios is expensive, aint it? Verizon's DSL is cheap as crap though, very nice service too. I had it until I moved to a state that doesn't have it - having to switch to TimeWarner RoadRunner.Verizon (parent of the FiOS service) also fights for the user's internet rights; which is good as they are almost protecting you from the MPAA/RIAA

According to Verizon's website, Fios is free installation with a one-years contract and $50/month for the cheapest package.

Actually, there is a 40$/month 5 mbps down 2 mbps up package, which is better than Cox's at the same price.
