[olug] wierd thing on cox network

[Ben Dinger]

Time Warner Cable in Lincoln is downright *notorious* for doing this, espescially to "abusive" customers - i.e. someone who actually uses their 3 megabits :).  They have a policy for RoadRunner customers that if you use more than x amount (I *believe* it's something like 20 gigabytes/mo) they will automatically put you on a RR Buisness Class plan.  Since I go through a different provider (which is the same exact service, just a different subnet), they can't do that to me.  They can threaten, but in the end that's all they can do :).  So I think they just amuse themselves with changing my IP every 6-24 hours and resetting all my ssh sessions ;). 

Buuut... I'd suspect Cox just ran low on IP space and allocated some more blocks.  Doesn't surprise me, happens all the time.
