        With mention of that provider I predict this being the next spam magnet thread ;)

          Decided to edit the post and remove the provider name from the title and direct text. It is still embedded as part of the URL, though.

            Well yeah its going to be embedded in a lot of links as of late.. That news is all over the net.. And yet people still hand over money to these services thinking they are getting something other than slow internet and problems accessing their other services they pay for.. So that their isp doesn't know they went to xyz.com -- makes zero sense to me ;)
