Re: Communist Internet i agree F#)K ISP. if anyone knows a work around for this please let me know....
What the Anti-Spam community does is alot like what Communist China does with their internet. I've hosted my own web-sight www.tim-city.com with my own email system, for the last 5 years with a dynamic ip address. I had no problems, every time the dhcp renewed my license i just broadcast my custom mac address and walla i always recieved the same internet IP address. over 5 years i give out my private fully customizable sendmail server email address to a lot of people i wanted to stay in contact with.
buckeye-express ISP recently blocked request's on port 25 out and in without any notification. all i knew was i wasn't receiving emails, so i upgraded my linux kernel and senmail, to the latest versions. nope. bought a new router. nope... but the new router told me more than the old one did about what was happenning. I finally traced it down the isp. they want $20 more a month for a static ip to re-open that port. I think that is a crime. I buy something then the manyfacurer turns off a specific feature i use and demands more money, that is
specifically targeting me. Do i have any grounds for a lawsuit here? my private email has been down since feburary and any important emails i might have needed to recieve are now lost forever, without any notification from the isp that
they were targeting me individually for more money? |
