Re: Who Cares? Exactly, instead of a "This page cannot be displayed" you get a search page which may or may not help YOU. The point is it might help 75% of the less-tech savvy customers, and therefore it's a good idea.
It's not so good when you think of the big ISP getting a few more $$$, and still charging people the extra fees too on our bill.
Is this really something to get upset about??
Here is an Idea for the ISPs! Just like some video sites that show 10 second advert's before the actual video, ISP can start showing webpages with advertisements before directing you to your intended page! What a money maker that would be! They could do it on any page, everytime!!
If HotSpots can redirect you until you pay, they must be able to do this!
(If they do that, then you have a reason to complain, but if you mis-type something, get over it, and correct your spelling.) | |

Phoenix, AZ | The whole point behind this entire arguement is that WE do not like being taken to a place that SHOULD not be done WITHOUT our consent. When i mistype an address I would like to be told that i mistyped it by telling me it does not exisist. Now for those who are not tech savvy, yes it would be nice to be directed to a page that shows you options for what you may have ment to go to. BUT MAKE IT AN OPTION NOT SOMETHING BY DEFAULT. And to you, dns works by saying www.something.com = 1.1.1.1 or some other such ip address. That is how i want it to work unless i tell it to otherwise. That is how it was working 20 years ago, that is how i want it to work now... | |
