Quote:

Virgin Media CEO Neil Berkett has attacked the principle of net neutrality, whereby internet service providers do not interfere with or degrade the speed at which content is delivered from websites to consumers, branding it as “b****cks”.

Clearly you guys aren’t paying Virgin enough, so they need to extract more cash from both Phorm and from content providers, including the BBC.

Opinions please, god help those people who like websites that refuse to pay Virgin though if this is their way forwards

hope someone can help me understand the background to this as i’m quite interested to know whats going on

i installed Zone Alarm after finding so trojan virii on my hard drive and set the interent security to high as suggested. eveything seemed fine for a while then i noticed a little blue warning light on the ZA icon……Mmmmmmmmm

going to check my alert log i noticed that i have over 200 entries in it in a matter of minutes and obviously panic set in………….i’m being hacked!!!!!!

i went to the grc.com web sites and got it to check my ports and shields and that looked fine. i also downloaded their “leak test” program and ZA couped with that – cool

i then examined the log file and found that the same ip address had scanned ports from 1389 to 2398 before i had noticed it. checking the ip address (62.253.162.235) i found it belonged to NTL and heres what came back……..

inetnum: 62.253.160.0 – 62.253.167.255
netname: NTL
descr: NTL Internet
descr: Winnersh Datacentre
country: GB
admin-c: NNMC1-RIPE
tech-c: COH1-RIPE
status: ASSIGNED PA
changed: hostmaster@ntli.net 20010108
source: RIPE

route: 62.252.0.0/14
descr: NTL-UK-IP-BLOCK-3
origin: AS5089
mnt-by: AS5089-MNT
changed: bob.procter@ntli.net 20010205
source: RIPE

I also found that i was unable to recieve and get emails after ZA had stopped the udp ports needed to obtain it

at the moment i have set my ZA internet security to medium but also understand that i could allow this ip to become trusted and leave my internet settings on high!

so are NTL continually scanning ports to check for illegal servers running or is this related to DHCP? i’d really appreciate it if somone can enlighten me on this subject and maybe advise on the best firewall solution/combination – black ice, za, tiny personal fw?

The BBC site is down after so many people are visiting it to gain information on the terrorist attacks in London.
Features from the site have disappeared, including the weather symbols, pictures and the BBC logo.

I opened my local paper (the fantastic Glenrothes Gazette ) to see a BT advert ‘for the attention of Telewest customers’. Remind us about how TW are beefing up connection/international rates and reminding you of course to re-connect to your friends BT. This was on the Birth, Marriages and Deaths page in case you’re interested…

Since installing Zone Alarm pro 3.0, I have had several “medium” and “high” level attempted attacks reported from scanner.abuse.blueyonder.co.uk . I have reported this to blueyonder (my ISP) but I thought I’d mention it here in case anyone could gie me some insight into it. The attacks were all blocked by the firewall progam and reported to have come from 193.38.113.34:#####

Hey Peeps,

I just wanted to write this short post to show my condolences to all the friends and families of anyone lost in the tragic and sickening events of yesterday. I would like to hope everyone here will participate in the 3 minutes of silence to pay tribute to those lost tommorow at 11:00 am GMT. And once again, My sincere condolences.

Peace,

Impz

See that the BBC News Channel was Simulcasting BBC World News, and most of the other channels – Sky News, CNN and Aj Jazeera Eng are doing great jobs too.

All the stations covering this in major detail except BBC News Channel for some strange reason

Over 25 dead and maybe a lot more.

Seams to be an attacks against main foreign targets.

NDTV 24/7 has reporters close to the gunfire.
