Did they give you any warning first?

It's going to be pretty shitty if I have to pay a third party to get the type of service I should be getting already.

No warnings

They are proactive. I doubt they are "inspecting packets".

They probably have a trigger on their router that if a client requests to connect to certain known sites to go ahead and disable their service. It doesn't happen on the first connection. It is usually after 2-3 times.

My son got us disco'd for trying to download movies one time. It took a phone call and verbal assurances we won't do it again. They threatened that if we are caught doing it again they may discconnect the service permanently

Again, VPN and you are fine

No, I was out of state for work and my wife called me to let me know the internet wasn't working. I called EATEL on 3 way and they "helped" us.

My wife knew what to do. :-)
