RE: [Nolug] Need new internet service...

1) If they can catch you they're not doing a good job.
2) Your IP address had to change (@home had a 24.0.0.0/8 and cox.net owns
68.0.0.0 - 68.15.0.0)

Not a good idea. 1) they could catch you. easily. actually I'm
surprised this works at all (hint: cable-source-verify though one could
use mark-only to catch violators)
2) how do you know your UBR has IP address pools within 68.14.0.0/16?
You don't.

That said, I can say my IP has never changed since the @home->Cox HSI
transition.
