Source that it happens obviously.

You claimed that they connected to open networks.

That is just a bunch of more speculation.

No, there is no proof of it happening and it's extremely likely to be coincidences or even made up. It's the internet after all.

The Cox active listening website was just observation and dismissed until an article was written about that too.

Either way, I need some evidence or at least some slightly realistic and reputable observations before I will believe it.
