Don't Pimp Me Bro

When your ISP starts pimping your own browsing habits, maybe its time to change your ISP.

Re: Don't Pimp Me Bro

So let's suppose that Qwest (another company in financial straits) decides to do something like this.

And let's further suppose that you live in a community serviced by Qwest and Charter.

Who, precisely, do you propose changing your ISP to? AOL?

Re: Don't Pimp Me Bro

AOL isn't doing so hot either, and don't they basically use the same thing with their software client, except that they don't have to alter the content of pages to serve their ads? (Alright, that's a big difference, but data is still being examined)

You can always use a VPN based proxy service. Then the ISP can't see your web pages to modify them since they are encrypted. The only thing they will see is that you are going to the VPN proxy web site - nothing more. Assuming, of course, your VPN proxy service isn't also being modified somewhere by their ISP or host provider.

Here is only 1 example. There are many others:

And it will cost you $20/mo.
