Re: Westlinkcable.net and Westlink Cable is a scam

And it may not be an endorsement. But you're right, it's an apparent one. CanadianISP argued the legalities before, but I am not sure if he/or she has consulted an actual attorney re: potential liabilities. If I were bilked out of some money by Johnnie (such as if I had a recent lobotomy) it might occur to me to sue everyone in a country mile, including the ISP listing service that listed the company that was in NO WAY EVER, an actual ISP.

If you could validate that CanadianISP had notice they were a fraud or potential fraud and they didn't do their due diligence to establish their legitimacy their passive acceptance would make a class action viable. If I were CanadianISP I would be on the horn to their litigators.

Given that CanadianISP is a member, and poster on this very topic, it would be a VERY short bridge to follow.

That was my point. CISP, I get it that you have a site about Canadian ISPs. However if to be listed as one consists of "guy gave me 10$", you'll understand if we consider the data worthless.

So there is a fee involved with listing your ISP op at CISP ?

I have no idea. The 10$ figure was rhetorical.

Good to know, as I was considering seeking a listing there for my yet-to-be-named company, to see what CISP's process is.

'Davesnothere Communications' !

Yes, that kinda has a ring to it.

I'm going to start my own "isp" and use CCTS and CanadianISP!

I shall call it, "CompuGlobalHyperMegaNet"

o wait, that company already exists perhaps next time.

CISP site seems to be down, or at least malfunctioning.

It goes to the URL, but no page seems to be present.

Anyone else notice this ?

www.canadianisp.ca

I was all gung-ho to register my brand new pretend ISP company, and now THIS ?!

EDIT : Browser or system resources problem at my end - resolved.

That's because you're using a 'downgrade computer with a crappy keyboard from the 90's'.

HeHeHe !!!

(so you have been following very closely then)

BTW, I HAVE been to the CISP site, and the form to register an ISP does not really ask for very much info about the ISP itself.

Much more is devoted to what service tiers and in which regions they are offered.

The form would be easy to fool, IMNSHO.

Been following the original thread religiously. When I'm bored at work, I usually bring it up and hope for new posts
I'm kicking myself not picking up on it before it got to page 20!
