| I have no problems I would prefer that ISP's quarantine malware. And the easiest way to do that is to block service to users who do not have current AntiVirus/AntiSpyware. I'd also be in favor of those running Norton and McAffe getting a lower quality of service. We have had more issues than I can count regarding those two pieces of crap software. I could care less what OS you run, as long as it isn't ME, there again not because it would cause problems, but you'd be doing the customer a favor.
But what it all boils down too, is the current regime would prefer to put restrictions on ISP's rather than fixing the countries education system. If the users in general had half a brain, malware wouldn't be the problem it is today. I see that proven out everyday, at least on my network, the problem users are the younger kids that should have been taught all of this in school. |

You shouldn't need to have anything on your comp. You should run the computer like you want. I am not going to pay another $3000 for a machine that I CAN'T decide what I want to do with it because my ISP says so.
Just because joe bob down the street is computer illiterate now I should have to run unnecessary software? |

West Lafayette, IN | Right and if you secure your stuff - then do as you will.
I'm sure an ISP would rather waste 50gb in upstream knowing that you are using their service for your benefit than have an uninformed user use 100mb to help DOS ebay for an hour.
I think a rearely mentioned reason that upcaps are kept so tight is because a rogue machine with a 3mb symmetrical connection can be a very busy little b4stard once it gets hijacked.
If I got a letter saying that trading unedited DV with my friend is not cool - Bet I'm switching to a competitor.
But is anybody going to be ditching their service because "X won't let me have a compromised machine if I want to"? |
