    As of this morning, 11/08, Embarq has hijacked a persons ability to search from the address bar in Internet Explorer. They automatically re-direct you to »search.embarq.com/index.php. One has the option to opt out of “EMBARQ's non-existing domain landing service”, funny how one never opts into these things, but when you do you are left without being able to search from the address bar at all. Basically they have their servers from looking up the DNS for »auto.search.msn.com

    This looks primarily as a way to shove advertising down customers throats. But I ask what’s next from ISP’s? Will they decide what we can and can’t view on the Internet?

    This is not a review

    Why not discuss how the service works, installation, etc...

    Don't use reviews as you would the forum.
