Thumb Up

It's been talked about for *years*

People have said the ISP's *know* whose generating stupid amounts of traffic.

So it looks like *finally* one of them in the UK has decided to stand out a bit from the crowd and *do* something about it.

Plugging their service at the same time does seem pretty patronizing.

But then again the *fact* you've been infected does not really say much for your sense of internet security, does it?

Most of the UK's major ISP's seems to do a damm lot of traffic shaping/flow control etc already. It's about time uses got *some* benefit from all that unofficial snooping.

Cautious thumbs up *provided* they don't get a load of stupid *false* positives.
