Apparently, from the source it seems KArro ISP is the only ISP to actually turn this into action. Wouldn't switching over to another ISP solve the problem ?

But when we look from a general perspective , this could be a pretty serious issue considering the fact ISP is the key to internet :(

Update: After today's reports Karoo decided to change their policy. Instead of disconnecting alleged pirates directly, they will operate a a three strikes and you are out rule.
