Hmm, I had better check. I didn''t think I was paying for the OptusNet spam filter to be turned on....

Checking... checking...

there is only 1 hole in your logic. small medium isps normally buy data by the mb and the more spam hits their doors the more they pay in bandwidth charges.

ALL bandwidth coming into AU is volume charged.... i know of no link you can buy that isnt.

in AU the big player is telstra who simply wont implement measures without being dragged kicking and screaming into the real world.....but AU is only 4 or 5% of the problem.

in the USA (the real home of spam) the real big players are battling to hold their networks together due to the shear volume of the problem

Mornin' Inc!

only one hole?:lol:

so, we need bigpuddle to start the ball rolling,,

surley(can I call you that?) the more mb's wasted on spam the better off they'd be stopping it?

no, they are the major wholesaler...

sooo,
they think we are willing to pay for spam ON TOP of our usual traffic,
or to put it another way,
they assume we include spam mbs in our monthly usage.
