CYBER FOX

Is your internet service provider (ISP) making things slow down on purpose? A new software, released by Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), allows you to track whether your ISP is causing the slow downs. They add packet forgeries to the internet highway. They have no use but to slow you down, there is no software, besides the one created by EFF, that allow you to keep your internet provider in check.

Soon, if the research being conducted is correct, we might have to add this type of software to our list along with Firewalls and antivirus. It will be another pain we will have to deal with, although at this point we have no choice but to allow this, due to the laws stated by FCC 15 thru 16, which say we must comply with all interference and may not cause harmful interference (to people or machines). However it is being bent because if the machine understands the information it must use it as it was programmed to. It’s not fair that we should have to pay just to receive slow service on purpose, but it could be changed in the future. keep in mind some slow downs are caused naturally so don’t blame your service provider yet!
