Judge In e360 Vs. Comcast Rules e360 a Spammer
Brielle Bruns writes "Yesterday, Judge James B. Zagel dismissed claims against Comcast by e360. In the decision, the judge says: 'Plaintiff e360Insight, LLC is a marketer. It refers to itself as an Internet marketing company. Some, perhaps even a majority of people in this country, would call it a spammer.' This clears the path for Comcast's counter-suit." e360 is the spammer that got a default judgement against Spamhaus, as we have discussed on numerous occasions.
Know how much bandwidth a mail server needs? Quadruple it. That's just to handle the spam. Is that free?
Done with slashdot, done with nerds, getting a life.
I want some real competition - in the Houston market, Comcrap came in and is the monopoly on cable modem service. A TEENSY TINY area is covered by FIOS, and 80% of the areas covered by DSL don't overlap the Comcrap areas. No, I don't consider satellite internet "competition" either, given their 3000+ ms ping times.
Prior to Comcrap, we had Roadrunner (time warner) running the service. Since Comcrap broke the agreement with TW and came in our service has gone down the crapper, we constantly have dead periods, bandwidth is cut in half, and meanwhile they run ads claiming (quite fraudulently) that they are "increasing" the number of channels for the cable subscribers.
Used to be, if we had service outage (say, someone didn't trim their tree and cable got broken) we called the local customer service, we got a tech out, it was fixed within 4 hours. Now, we call customer service and get some fucking moron in India who doesn't speak english, and it takes 2 days just to get some mexican (who also doesn't speak english) in a truck out to verify there's a problem and then say he needs to get some other mexican out to fix it.
Fuck Comcrap. I want them out.
