I talked to cable america reps and they told me that they block these 
clients because it consumes there bandwidth. I find that hard to believe as I 
was with Cox cable modem service for two years and everone I knew with the 
service used Morpheus, limewire or a similar P2P client with no apparent 
bandwidth problems on Cox's end, but that is what cable america said.
 I could understand maybe if I wasn't paying for my IP which I am on top of 
my monthly charges.
