Blocking Pop-ups at the ISP Level?

Posted by Cliff on from the something-for-the-customers dept.

roXet asks: "I work for a small ISP that offers dial-up and DSL in Louisiana. In the wake of the big boys' new wave of pop-up and spam blocking advertisements, I am looking into providing these services for our customers. I hate the thought of filling my customers machines with proprietary software, if for no other reason than I see it creating a support nightmare for our call center. I have found several options for blocking spam at the network level, but I have yet to find a good solution for getting rid of pop ups. Has anyone found a good method of doing this at the ISP level?"

    My company uses popups and would like them to not be blocked. So please share what techniques you're using for blocking so we can try to get around them. Thanks.
