"... the biggest telcos in both South Korea and Taiwan today claimed no upgrades are necessary because earthquakes are "rare" in the Pacific."
Uhhh... yeah!
Maybe not *IN* the Pacific... but everywhere *AROUND* the Pacific is very active!

|  I saw a drop in Spam in my GMAIL accounts
It may be a coincidence, but there has been zero Spam from my Comcast accounts that forward to Gmail and also in any mail directly addressed to Gmail as well. I may as well enjoy it while it lasts.

About that spam, my main business email address gets around 5,000 spam mails/day (of which, all but a dozen-ish make it through thanks to SpamAssasian).
Of that ~5,000, 90% are from Asia(about half are even in Chinese), 5% or so are from the US, and the other 5% are from Europe.
Now, strangely, 90% of the viruses I get in my email are from Europe, and the other 10% are a mix from US and China.
I have many many email accounts, and my main one isnt special by any means, those spam numbers are about the same on all of them from where the spam and viruses come from.

This is probably why some ISPs like Verizon end up blocking entire countries |

They may be referring to telco infrastructure damaging e-quakes. |

Re: .
I wish ISPs offered overseas email/spam filtering. Prodigy has this back in the day and I used it because I never received OS email but I don't know of any ISP offering it now. For users not expecting OS email it was great for controlling spam. |

| build it, then find a use for it...
The point is: build it, then someone will find a use for it.. eventually! Then you'll be thankful that you laid extra throughput for Asia Pacific.. Just wish some of those terabit lines were in the USA for residential use, not the table scraps we get for upload throughput! Just be careful exactly where you place these cables... fault lines are not good places to lay cable, so you need to build in redundancy so that segments can be easily repaired/switched in the event of an emergency/breakdown.
I want to see the day that we get todays hard-drive speeds over the internet, with virtually no latency..!
Even from USA to Asia... and back!
Can't do a speed test and see piddly little speeds in the dsl range, that totally sucks! |

Re: I saw a drop in Spam in my GMAIL accounts
And when Comcast took over my local Adelphia franchise, I observed an increase in Spam to an unused mailbox. lol
One receives Spam because its passed on by the ISP pop3 mail server. Until everyone rediects it to their ISP's help mailbox (go get'em tiger!), the ISP will only go after highly-complained about abused to their SMTP server. |

Re: Block by country
Using what threshold? If one person in country X sends out a Spam, should your ISP block the entire nation of X? Now that would amount to a no-Internet condition as they would most likely be blocking your native country, too. |

Why is it then that I have a tsunami warning center in my backyard? Well, almost in my backyard. The West Coast/Alaska Tsunami Warning Center operated by NOAA is located right in Palmer. The other one for the west coast is located in Ewa Beach, Hawaii.
Once again back on topic, I have noticed a marked decrease in spam in my Yahoo and Hotmail accounts. |
