Ugh, I hate to hear this. Hopefully they only do this at the request of copyright holders, and they aren't "proactive" about it. If they do it without being asked to, that means they either stop all torrenting (I do a lot of legal torrenting), or they are inspecting your packets (that ain't right).

If I get cut off I'm going to be one pissed off customer.

I've been disconnected once. Why? It was before I started using a VPN.

I really needed to secure my network better than "Linksys" for WiFi name and "linksys" for my password.

EATEL "helped" me make my network secure and since then, I haven't had a problem keeping my neighbor's son out and off of my network.

They manually cut you off if they receive a DMCA violation notice for you. They don't filter any traffic besides outbound SMTP from customers to avoid blacklisting, so don't worry about your legal torrents.

ETA

If a customer continues to violate the DMCA, the ISP becomes liable for fines and stuff. That's is why they will eventually cut you off totally if you keep getting busted.
