Cox is now the latest Internet service provider to have been found blocking peer-to-peer traffic on its network.
The Max Planck Institute for Software Systems released a survey Thursday showing that 54 percent of Cox subscribers reported having their connections blocked when they tried to share files over the Internet. Comcast has been castigated for a similar practice, but apparently it wasn’t the only company engaging in such action, according to the Associated Press.
The blocked connections occurred when Cox subscribers used BitTorrent to download or upload files, according to the results of the survey. Cox has acknowledged a practice called “protocol filtering,” but says that’s not the equivalent of creating different standards for handling content traveling across its networks.
