| Re: Too bad they won't actually enforce spam ban said by TKJunkMail :Way too many machines get infected and become zombies. And almost no ISPs do a thing about it. I doubt Qwest will be any different. Which is too bad. That is one TOS that I wish all ISPs would enforce. It would make a big difference in reducing the amount of SPAM. So let's see. You get hit by the WMF 0-day exploit, when there was nothing you could do to prevent it. It installs a spam-sender, which pumps out 100,000 spams. You get a bill for half a million dollars. That hardly seems fair.
And consider this. Legally, if Qwest is going to enforce this, they can't just sit back and let huge bills accumulate. When it becomes reasonably clear that an account is sending spam, Qwest has an obligation to cut off service or at least warn the customer. Now if Qwest did that, it would really make a difference. But of course they won't. |
