It is nice to see an ISP actually be responsible and try to clean up their network, not to mention the Internet in general.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18262161 Tue, 01 May 2007 08:49:10 EDT Re: Interesting http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18260811 Michieru2 : That's why there is 1 year contract exists just to piss those customers off even more.

They are being paid for access. To me, that means unrestricted access.
Every ISP I've ever seen has had a AUP and/or TOS that spells out what a user can, or in most cases can't do with the account. Almost every time there are two provisions, one that says a user's activities can not have a detrimental affect on the network and the other is that the policy may be changed without notice. You are NOT paying for unrestricted access. Heck, ISPs don't even get unrestricted access. They can and have been cut off from their upstream providers for violating policies.

I'm not saying it's right and that ISPs should just arbitrarily block a service just because it can be used for something illegitimate. I'm just saying that it is within their powers to do so.

Exactly right. YOU are PAYING them for the unrestricted use of their access network. Some here seem to use the idea of it being their network to justify any abuse of their customers, with the attitude that "they can do whatever they want. It's THEIR network".

They are being paid for access. To me, that means unrestricted access. Of course, if they crap on their customers in this manner, their customers will crap on them by taking business elsewhere, or, getting around their restrictions.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18259782 Mon, 30 Apr 2007 20:00:29 EDT Re: sounds about right http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18259509 battleop : You must work in marketing or sales. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18259509 Mon, 30 Apr 2007 19:18:10 EDT Re: Interesting http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18259174 cdru :

Or worse,.. state in their AUP that bittorrent usage is not allowed. Then, set their network to detect bittorrent traffic (used legitimately), deem it against their policy, and limit the user to pages on their site about bittorrent use. Then, ask for the user to check the AUP, and have them call tech support to release their account once bittorrent traffic has ceased.
Not that I would condone such actions, but if an ISP did that it would be perfectly within their rights in almost all circumstances. You are paying to use THEIR network. If THEY don't want something on THEIR network, it's THEIR choice, not yours. The extent of what you can do is find another provider.

My main (only) concern would be that the ISP would somehow flag a "normal" PC as infected and then quarantine it.
