While I’m dubious of the claim due to the robust permissions management in the latest versions of iOS and Android, it is interesting that a company has come out and said they are doing what everyone is thinking.

And yes they are a subsidiary of the parent of Cox Communications, the ISP, so I would be switching to a competitor ASAP if I had their services

FUCK we have Cox and my alternative would be using my cellphone. This shit should be illegal? Is it thier modem and router? They really hate if you use your own.

I have to use their router or they will not give me my static IP. Atleast I can still set it pass everything to a useful router.

They even broke port forwards if I was just using their shit hardware.

Its 100% illegal but they pay Congress a lot of money.

??? They only offer static ips on business as far as I’m aware and they don’t care what router you use.

It’s a business plan since I like hosting small stuff. I think they tie the static ip to an account number or mac address on the router. I just set it up to bridge since it so crap.

If you’re able, try and trust a VPN provider, and route all your networking traffic through them. At least that’ll cut out your ISP from being able to harvest as much.
