" If it was a virus issue, they would not offer the ports to be open for a price."

Actually the reasoning is that if you are willing to pay for a server plan then you know what you're doing.


I also heard that excuse as well and had a feeling someone would bring that up as well. I ran a server for years until they blocked it.I am not willing to pay extra, and I would consider my self "up to par" on things like that. I never abused the bandwidth, I just had some text articles I wrote. And yes, I am aware there are things that can be done to get around it. Its just not the same. My point was, it was an excuse.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15113441 Tue, 27 Dec 2005 20:53:50 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15112030 JammerMan79 : " If it was a virus issue, they would not offer the ports to be open for a price."

Just like stupid telus and there port blocking. "Its to help you the customer from viruses" LOL ya right. They just want MORE money from you to open the ports. If it was a virus issue, they would not offer the ports to be open for a price. Wonder if rogers will pass the savings along to there customers after shutting down the Usenet. LOL that's another big laugh. I'm sure there like most isp's; the Usenet is not really part of there service; at least that's the way they put it. Excuse after excuse till there will be nothing you can do on the internet except read spam mail; witch they seem to have no control over. Who knows maybe email is next to go. I thought technology should be going forward, not back to the BBS days! LOL!

excuses, excuses, excuses, now give your self a pat on the back for saving the world ISP ceo's :-p]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15107241 Mon, 26 Dec 2005 21:42:53 EDT
