So you are angry that they are using what they are paying for? Be angry at the right person, your cable provider. If you want to be angry at them for pirating that's fine too, but for just using their connnection I'm not sure I could care.
How fast are you paying for? How fast are you getting? I pay for 1.5 and get 1 constantly and that's on DSL. I'd not assume you'd be better off without cable. Also point of fact, if they were using BT to download things I doubt it would be just at certain times of day, BT is meant to be run all the time. I'm curious how you 'identified the problem' ?
