Actually, I was looking up TWC's terms of service to support my claim, 
and it seems in light of being beat up upon by the FCC for the "network 
management" foolishness, they've simplified it quite a bit.

However, like many ISPs, it still contains this clause :

The ISP Service may not be used to breach or attempt to breach the 
security, the computer, the software or the data of any person or 
entity, including Operator, to circumvent the user authentication 
features or security of any host, network or account, to use or 
distribute tools designed to compromise security, or to interfere with 
another's use of the ISP Service through the posting or transmitting of 
a virus or other harmful item to deliberately overload or flood that 
entity's system.

... and they make no distinction between YOU (as in the real you) and 
TOR (as in traffic that appears to come from you, but isn't the real 
you) .. all they care about is what comes out of your pipe.

Anyway .. good luck, and keep up the good fight!
