Comments on: Study: Cox blocking BitTorrent traffic, too

Comcast isn't the only ISP blocking BitTorrent file-sharing on its network, according to the results of a study released Thursday.

Unless you have a business account, Cox blocks almost all lower range ports and protocols. No incoming anything. No running of web servers, FTP servers, or even email servers on the standard low ports. This has nothing to do with BitTorrent specifically. Maybe the customer should read their terms of service before "blowing the whistle".

Cox blocks MOST incoming traffic. ALL incoming traffic on standard low ports. Read your terms of service people.

Many of these ISPs have terms in their TOS that allow for traffic control. So why are we shocked when they do it? Also, does anyone else see the humor in Cox Blocking?

Use a random high port and turn on RC4 encryption in your BT client.
Cox does slow down unencrypted BT traffic, but whatever they're using can't block encrypted traffic.
