Yea you could say unsibcribe, but whatever, maybe your circumstances doesn't let you to unsibcribe because you need the internet, but that doesn't mean we should shut our mouths and keep on paying money, or in this case, Not do anything in case we have a way to make the internet he is providing us better behind his back like him.
Currently my brother is paying about 60-70k I don't remember exactly for barely 2mbps, if you reach 2mbps means you are using the internet in a good day, that with a horrible ping.
So yea, if there Is a way to change that behind the dealers backs, I would do it, and happily sleep at night.
"If someone is stealing from me, I will steal from him." - you are paving your way to troubles then and possibly might ruin your life and career.
I can give countless examples, that ISPs, hosting over the world doing such things and it's legal, because completely unlimited and unrestricted access cost arm&leg.
Other thing, i am developing billing for other ISPs(not for WinDSL), and i faced many time hacking attempts, passwords theft and etc.
Once even successful, but it was white hat, billing developed by team and one member of development team didn't filtered content for html tags, and boom - XSS. White hat got awarded, as he came with information and explained how he did it.
Other times... i will force ISP to react on that if "hacking" is enough annoying, as if such thing repeat, i will waste my time checking things on alerts, reviewing logs and etc, and i will charge them extra if reason of disturbance (hacker) is not "fixed".
Best case and most common you get disconnected.
If not, and it's still good guys - you will get legal team on your head. While ISP easily can explain his point and legally what you think "stealing" is just fair policy, yours is clear deliberate hacking and criminal offence. Usually they will just scare you, fine maybe, and let go, but if you wont be enough polite, they can easily add you criminal record to your bio, and good luck getting reputable job in your life with such "achievement".
If it is bad guys, it is worse, they will just send some criminals and will solve their question by beating shit out of offender.
