One might presuppose infection rates are exactly the same, at
least until that ISPs user base upgrades, patches, auto-updates,
AVs, anti-spywares, whatever.. or finds a new ISP. I wonder how
long it'd take for such a policy institution to impact an entire 100%
user base?
I'd likewise be quite keen on seeing empirical evidence on trends
in cleanliness and/or churn from any of those ISPs in question, the
3 "huge" ones in particular - any of those folks *NOG-types?
Likely my last message on this tread, as I foresee the "OT
curmudgeon" mounting up (hint to them: "delete").
