I know firsthand Suddenlink is one ISP that will indeed shut off your Internet (and phone, since it's through the same modem) in response to copyright-related complaints. The worst part is I didn't get any sort of warning first; I ended up calling in thinking it was a standard network outage, with the phone tech and I troubleshooting for an hour before he realized "ohhhhh, did you try to torrent a video game yesterday?".

So thankfully it seems StarLink gives better warning here.
