First,

Most ISP DO NOT want logs of any type.&nbsp; They are a pain in the butt to maintain.&nbsp; In most cases they store the last time you logged in.&nbsp;

There are only two cases where an ISP will track your activity.

1.&nbsp; You are a high end users eating up tons of bandwidth.&nbsp; They do this to find an excuse to get ride of you.

2.&nbsp; You are a "abuse case" and RIAA is knocking on the door with a subpena, then the ISP may or may not start tracking you down.&nbsp; Which is a pain for a large ISP.


-------------------------------------
Secondly,


With AnonX all your ISP sees is encrypted VPN traffic.&nbsp; Perfect it.&nbsp; There is no reason for the ISP to block you, turn you off, or .......

Is this true? [/b][/quote]
Ofcource it is. &#39;Don&#39;t think twice ;)&#39;

Kazaa Lite may make 1-10 new connections a second while even just &#39;idling away&#39; if you have even a handful (fewer than 20) unfinished downloads.

Going to web pages often opens more than 1 connection as well, due to many web banners being on different ips/servers.

Logging ALL the connection attempts (even failed ones) and duration could overwhelm an ISP that tries to do that for everyone.

It&#39;s a BIG DEAL just for Verizon to track whether/when someone using their service is online and what their ip address is. When RIAA started demanding names on such a large scale, they said they&#39;d have a hard time getting that info fast enough... even if they WANTED to&#33;

If your internet provider has had a request to "crack down" on a particular download, ie. a movie file, as of late: 21 Grams. Your provider will look for users who have downloaded this file and send out a warning to you about copyright infringement. At least, that&#39;s how it works in Canada at the moment.
