Have you ever received a warning from your ISP for piracy?

If Yes, when was the last time you received such a warning?
 
Never. I used to pirate but stopped since I stream whatever I want to watch.
 
I don't pirate...I download movies and tv shows off sites off the internet and watch it later.

This has nothing to do with my ISP. I pay them for data and I pay Telkom for access to the internet, so they have no say re. what I do with my connection and my data.
 
In 2015 and 2016, intended for one of my clients.

Nope, including Germany/Austria ISP. Did have a friend in Germany who got one, they had a merry conversation in regards to proving who actually downloaded it so that they could prosecute that person. It ended up being dropped.
 
I remember in the early days of uncapped people where reporting that they were getting warnings from local ISPs but I think it was more of a case of them making an excuse to kick data hogs of their service
 
Got a few supposed warnings when I had ADSL.... they were merely just bollocks emails from the ISP itself so were duly ignored.
