Greetings.
Another independent ISP operator and I have noticed a pretty significant
increase in traffic to and from our broadband (DSL) subscribers since
August. It's been a fairly steady uptick, at least in my case, resulting
in a doubling of overall average traffic to/from these folks since then.
Have others seen a similar trend? Any thoughts as to what the cause may
be? Our best guess a virus/worm, possibly being used as a spam relay or
other proxy at this point...
Many thanks,
