Isp violating my privacy but seeing what is coming out of my computer. Most ips do not monitor virusses, spywares. So what do u think most people will do? That is right switch to another isp and continue on surfing the net
I hate to tell you this, but your every move is logged by your ISP, in fact, I believe regulation demands it.

Your information is already there. Chances are, your TOS with your ISP allows this.

98% of those on the Net have no idea how to safely run their PC without it getting infected, and out of those, 99% would never know about the infection unless told.

I'm sorry, but if your walking around in public with puss filled sores, delirious, with your skin turning pink, covered with a rash, I think the public has a right to quarantine you for smallpox.. No difference with electronic infections..
You must be living outside us as i don't know of any regulation that requires ips to collect data on you. My isp is not collecting data, they have specifically stated that in the forum after at&t said they will

Your ISP lied. You better go switch to another.

Hey a technician was just running a network sniffer in the data center at your ISP while troubleshooting packet storm caused by a few thousand bots, and guess what, she captured some packets of that porn site you just visited.

You probably should go switch to a different ISP right now so this does not happen again.

Inside the US.. See this:

Besides, ALL ISP's use logging just to protect themselves legally, and to protect their network. Seriously, if you don't understand that, you haven't a clue.

And your ISP's AUP clearly states:

quote:
Using the Services for any activity which adversely affects the ability of other people or systems to use DSLExtreme’s services or the Internet. This includes "denial of service" (DoS) attacks against another network host or individual user. Interference with or disruption of other network users, network services or network equipment is prohibited. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that their network is configured in a secure manner. A customer may not, through action or inaction, allow others to use their network for illegal or inappropriate actions. A customer may not permit their network, through action or inaction, to be configured in such a way that gives a third party the capability to use their network in an illegal or inappropriate manner.
