I dont buy it either, but when youre not their customer they dont have
much incentive to lift a finger to stop denial of service attacks.
Its also the excuse they gave me why they couldnt be bothered to disable
directed broadcasts, by the way. "We dont have enough cpu to filter them".
I think all the tier1 networks need to seriously clean out the complacent
