i disagree. i pay damn good money for my dsl connection for my personal traffic. i didn't agree to pay $x/month to be bogged down by a truck load of worm scans. speakeasy, my provider, actually sent out an email yesterday to it's customers saying that if they did not clean their machines, they too would shutdown their connection. the difference is that speakeasy gave them a deadline 9/23 to get on the stick.
i sent speakeasy an email back saying thanks. if only more isp's would do the same, everyone's throughput would be better that what it is now.
