To bad that it's not possible to do. It's fairly trivial to block or slow connections to specific sites. There are also a number of ways to do it (at different layers of the IP stack). -tom -- "Some people have morals, standards and ideals about quality, but I'm an American: I couldn't care less." --Tony Pierce (paraphrased)

Drex_CS join:2005-05-11 canada	thnx for the correction.. i didn't think that there was a way to do it that a large ISP (such as shaw/telus) would use to do it on thier scale... still think they dont. Think about the work they'd have to do just to "slow down" one site on the internet... it's a good hypothetical situation for the future, but I doubt that it is happening with any provider right now. (for websites, not for voip/others)
