Terabytes? If that's accurate and not an exaggeration, then Cox is
letting you slide. Do NOT be surprised if they throw a ToS complaint
against you at a moment's notice. According to their published limits,
you can dl "only" 60 gigabytes/mo. That's 720 GB a year... so if you
really are consuming TBs in 1/2 year, then you are far over their limits.
