[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 2632742, member: 29706"] Exactly, DHCP doesn't stop much but it slows down the people who don't understand how things work anyway so they don't even get started. They also don't want you to be selling your connection to your neighbors or splitting the bill with the neighborhood. Having a limit also makes you more apt to secure your WiFi. Cox is really lenient on the overages in most locations. They kind of had to put the system in place due to a few hogs and the perceived possibility that more would pop up. Most people get an email or two and eventually maybe even redirected to a page telling you about an "issue" and to call to upgrade but even then it also depends on the traffic. They have colocated Netflix servers on their network which offloads a lot of bandwidth as they are updated in the early mornings so if that is what is taking you over I wouldn't worry a bit about it. If your power downloading Pr0n then maybe you need to seek counseling or at least a girlfriend. [/QUOTE]
