Comment Re:Comcast Business (Score 1) 243

I'm in CA and I have Comcast Business, and I have never had any kind of domain helper or traffic hijacking (DNS or otherwise).
I use their anycast servers (75.75.75.75 and 75.75.76.76) and they both return NXDOMAIN for nonexistant domains.
The previous servers that they recommended (68.87.76.178 and 66.240.48.9) didn't either.

SMC8014? I have the same one. The trick is to not use any NAT on the device itself, disable the firewall and SPI for the static IP, and just use it like a bridge.
I have mine connected to a linux box that does all the routing/NAT (and ipv6 via 6rd), just checked the stats on the modem and it's been running for 144 days without a hiccup.

From that site:

The requirements we ask our volunteers to meet are as follows: (...) You are not a heavy downloader. We'd classify anything above 30GB per month as being too heavy for us to gather useful results.

That's pretty low, even for most casual users, and certainly for heavy users. I use almost 10x that per month.

Khyber writes: "A recent DDoS attack against a UK-based anti-pirating firm, known as ACS:Law, has resulted in a large backup archive of the server contents being made available for download, which has been done and is now being hosted by the Pirate Bay. Within this archive are e-mails from Andrew Crossley basically admitting that he is running a scam job, sending out thousands of frivolous legal threats on the premise that a percentage pay up immediately to avoid legal hassles."

Honestly, most Amercians would say "No one don't make a diesel car do they?"

God, I hope not. What the heck does that even mean??

It probably means the same thing as "No one don't make no diesel car, don't they?"

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
