i had taken the trouble to give  detailed report to ntl about recent
security breaches and zipped a 30meg log file [it was only a few hrs of
logging thats how bad the problem was] i recievd this after the autoresponse

Dear Sir / Madam,

Thank you for your recent email.

Due to security reasons I cannot open a .zip file. Could you please send
the appropriate log as a .txt attachment, or copy the log straight into
an email.

Please note however, if an IP address has originated from BT, I would
advise you redirect your complaint to abu...@bt.net, to allow them to
enforce their Terms of Service.

ntl do not condone any form of network abuse and we are actively working
to enforce our user policy and terms and conditions.

Yours Sincerely,

Fiona

i) can just opening a zip file give u a virus/trojan/bad luck/herepes/etc ?
if u are sure it is a zip file and not an exe or whatever -- any moron could
ascertain that u hardly need to a comp sci. degree to be able to work out if
file is what it is.. still im not sure if  uncompressing and viewing  the
data will run any code on your environment so thats for you. though i am 99
percent sure it cant.
ii)tell bt!! u are my company u tell them bitches at bt for me!
iii) "technology tamed" how can they tame technology for me i f they the
custodians and high priests of it are **** scared of it and dont know jack
about it?!?
iv) plus ntl mails server is so slow 30 odd meg will atke years and then
will prbably bouce back to me either not being accepted or my quota of mail
traffic being to high or some other money grubbing ntl reason.

i just want to die

ps did you know the max sort of data tyransfer rate of a motorola cable
modem is 4.5megabytes per second per 6mHz channel


i ma the only cable modem user within 5 miles . oh the injustice.
