The danger of throttling a user is, they will just blame you for the slowness and YOUR bad performance and switch to your competitor with their infested machine. |

the reason why we do it so it doesnt slow down the network and spread to other customers on the network. Why should other customers feel the pain of one person virus problem?
I think more ISP's should turn down customers for that reason to be truthful. if they do that then customers should know not to get virus or download anymore p2p stuff because bandwidth isnt cheap you know. |
