They probably do it based on port on the switch in your residence. I know that Cisco and Extreme switches will both allow tracking per port. Probably some SNMP or other scripty program goes in and if you'r above a certian number of bytes, they cut off the port.

Better idea? Wireless. If someone's got it, and using it without WEP, you can tap into their net & get bandwidth. Use with GetRight for stop/start downloads. Of course, this is probably against the rules of your residence, so be forewarned.
