Freaky Dutch ISP

If they know that it is 1% of thier users causing the problem, then they MUST know who the users are. Why not kick them off or just disrupt them.

I smell BS on the 1% of users being the issue. I think they are just trying to save costs by reducing bandwidth.

Vote with your wallets and move.

Hi,
According to research, about 25% all of broadband users in Holland use P2P or usenet.
That percentage is most likely much higher at UPC, since they advertise with really high (theoretical!) speeds.
But telling the press that you're giving 25%-50% of your internet customers the finger is going to result in a lot of negative newsitems.
It's much better to portray it like it's only 1% of their customers.
And that that small minority is ruining it for the rest.
And, of course, the dutch press is falling for this.
A US company would never get away with this.
