| If they can inject it... we can "uninject" it. I'm not against being told when I'm reaching my bandwidth cap, but to be honest, I'd rather get an email. I concur with an earlier commenter who shared their concerns regarding the possible "slippery slope" syndrome this technology could introduce.
To be honest though, most of us should be running some form of packet-inspection / IPS capable gateway in our homes. The gateway I run has the option to dynamically strip javascript or other code from websites as they load. And as someone else mentioned, simply blocking javascript in your browser will fix the issue regardless.
Thats not to say Net Neutrality isn't important, just that until we convince ISPs to change their ways, there are things you can do to minimize the crap you have to put up with. |

Huntington Beach, CA | Not easily. In this instance they modify the HTML to run their own javascript but they could just as easily inject their own HTML to display traditional banners which would be virtually impossible to undo 'cause you couldn't tell if it was the ISP or the site operator.
Even in this instance, we only know it's Rogers 'cause the banner says it is. If it were just an ad, you wouldn't know unless you had a second ISP that didn't display the banner. |
