Interesting that they mention individual IP address. Unless Cox does things differently then most other ISPs. Theoretically this could be more then one subscriber. I know that both the ISPs I have used in my area will issue me a new IP address whenever I unplug the modem for more then 10 seconds.

Couldn't Cox make the case that the information being provided could be from multiple subscribers?




They could try to argue that, if it's true. I've had the same IP address from Comcast for over a year, and I've reset my modem many times as well has had some prolonged (many-hour) power outages during that time.


Just for the record, if you want a new IP usually all you have to do is change the MAC address of your router and you'll get a new one.


It's not just the IP address; it's an IP address, date, and time.
