Just talked with cox through chat about even running a small game server to play DooM II with my friends from school. This is pretty bad. Basically I'd have to pay extra every month and upgrade to a freaking Business account before I'd even be allowed to play a game of DooM II with my friends without being in violation of the usage policies... That's pretty bad in my opinion. What do you think of this? I can't believe they'd go THAT low.
