The only American ISP is roadrunner (nystate)? I'm kinda surprised by that... Of course, the rest of the list is made up of developing countries, so that's not a surprise at all. |

So you missed VERIZON at #3 there?
I can just imagine it now:
"Hello Welcome to Verizon Customer Service how may I help you?"
"My PeeCee isn't able to connect to teh intarweb, I see a page that says I have a been disconnected due to a trojan, spyware, or other botnet activity ... WHY DOESNT MY INTERNET WORK - TURN IT BACK ON PLEASE!"
"Well Sir your port has been disabled because you've been sending out spam and your computer appears to have been compromised in a zombie botnet attack"
"I dun care what you say, I have no zombies here, they're only in Movies - I just want checked my d*mn email now TURN ME BACK ON NOW!"
... (rinse, repeat 10x)
Finally the user gives up - "Im going to Comcast, forget you Verizon, my zombie PC is invincible!" |

Re: Americans?
The best US ISP appears to be Time Warner Cable which is 96 out of 100 on the list, but when you add in all their Roadrunner entries they stink. Comcast doesn't initially look that bad either, but they are too. They are on the list multiple times with multiple unique ASN identifiers.
So for example when you total up all their entries,
Verizon 2 billion spam msgs/day
TW/RR 1 billion/day
Comcast 626 million/day

Why someone feels obligated to point it out every time a poster says Americans(when everyone knows that means people in the USA) is beyond me.

abuse departments would like to do with their clueless,
click on everything, got-brains?, spam spewing zombie
customers, or at least their machines.
Someone in one of the forums mentioned that if human
stupidity were a fuel that could be burned, this planet
would shine brighter than the Sun.

Isn't that what these forums and all others are all about, to either show your intelligence, or ignorance, or both, if you're REALLY talented?!! 
It's not just Americans, as you're using the term, but you see it on any typo somebody makes, or some other ridiculously simple error that ANYBODY would/should realize was just an oops!! |
