Leave my internets alone

Embarq does this as well. Even after having chosen to opt out I still get dumped to that page on occasion. I wish ISPs would stop this crap. Whenever you mistype something it gives you random suggestions as to what you might be looking for, none of which are related to what you wanted. All it does is confuse people who are computer illiterate when they want to go to a website and end up somewhere completely different telling them they want to purchase laundry detergent instead of music CDs.

hahahah! That kinda scenario made me laugh out loud.

I just sorta imagined a Google-type "did you mean this" page, where you typed in www.musiccds.com and it comes to a portal-page asking "Did you mean CH34P VI4GRA??//".

I once had a dream that Sean Connery stayed at my apt., and he had his laptop with Win98 on it, and he knew how to connect to my wireless network. I don't do drugs
