So the Broadband report screen shots of RST packets their quoting a Cox representative who admits to and defends the practice is not good enough. OK.
While doing the torrent, a wget of a 1.7 MB file came through with 28.27K/s. This morning, I got 218.22K/s. What mysterious thing was clogging my pipe last night while I was getting a pathetic 40 K/s movie download? I'm sure that's not enough for you either. So here is the EFF report about Comcast: http://www.eff.org/files/eff_comcast_report.pdf I will be unable to prove interference without co-operation. The technique requires monitoring of traffic at two points to observe RST packets received that neither party transmits. Observation of these packets by other Cox users as published in Broadband reports is sufficient proof for me that Cox is interfering with bittorrent. I'm willing to try this out myself but don't expect a fair result because Cox monitors this list. It would work out better if other Cox users on this list tried the same thing and noted their download speed. Shannon, your speed is good evidence of an unpopular torrent, but five to ten users should still be able to saturate my pipes. How long did you download? If you attempted to download the whole thing, you should be finished in about four days.
