Customer: Yeah my stream is buffering a ton, what's wrong with the internet?

Me: What are you streaming?

Customer: Oh uh... I... I uh forgot the name haha!

Me: Is it streaming Netflix? YouTube? Hulu?

Customer: Oh uh its' not any of them.

Me: What is the name on the box you are streaming?

Customer: It's [pirate stream box].

Me: Yeah unofficial streams like that can be hit or miss. Are you having issues with any official streaming sites like YouTube or Netflix?

Customer: no....

Me: Yeah that's device you're using is probably your issue.

What do you mean by box? A physical thing that people purchase to stream (like a knock off Apple TV/Chromecast)?

What's the policy on situations this? Do you have to report him to someone so they can issue a C&D, or do you just ignore it and not provide help because it's an unsupported device?

That's like calling the bank and asking them why the checks you stole are bouncing.

Was it a firestick? My parents have one of those (I think that's what it is) and they have some program on it that lets them stream literally anything.

They asked if I wanted one for my house but I told them I'm good I have a laptop and an HDMI cable that can do the same thing if I wanted.

No policy really but to just say that results may vary on devices like that.

The ISP doesn't care (or at least mine) unless you start getting copyright complaints from companies.
