Re: ISPs, caps, and counters oh my Wireless phone companies have been sued by customers (and lost) because they allowed unsolicited inbound SMS and charged their customers for it. Now they all have to provide user-configurable inbound SMS filters so users can filter or completely block SMS.
ISPs that have caps and overage charges should provide a user-configurable SPI firewall on the ISP side to prevent/filter unsolicited traffic (where you can select certain services allowed inbound like remote desktop or tunneling protocols). Right now you can only filter that on your end, but the traffic still comes over your cable/DSL modem before getting blocked by your own firewall (so it still counts against your cap). | |
