I dumped them a little while ago when my 8meg connection was slowing to under 1meg between 6pm and midnight. I'm with ADSL24 now and I get fast speeds 24/7.

One protected for the paying user, another 'open' stream for passing surfers. The primary user will have first dibs on the supply, the scraps will be diverted into the ether for the freeloading goons. I'd be quite happy to have the local waifs and strays have my netty leftovers, if indeed I have preferential access first. Hi Bel,

Tyger, I don't know much about how all this works, but could there be security issues/concerns from this? Seems like a good idea.
