Well Dhurrrr :waughh: Thats only common sense really. Why would they allow a person or company to have something that would attract malware on purpose or send out malware. In fact its written in Section 3 - 3.2 of the general Terms and conditions and what will happen. This BS with Spark is just that, they cant blame a handful of customers for bring the whole network down. If it is in fact true then they are damn useless at handling a bigger load, no one else appears to be having the same problems. Looking on the upside -- there should be plenty of work shortly cleaning out infected computers all over the country. :tui: |

| 1383343 | 2014-09-07 05:38:00 | In fact it was very similar spin they put out during the Go Large fiasco. They said the low download speeds people were getting were due to the large number of people downloading. Somehow they even got Ernie Newman at the same time on Tele saying it was like trying to get water down a narrow pipe, maybe even he fell for their hype. Help desks just got people doing endless useless speed tests. Edit: "All the internet you can get" (at 14kbs, right, :banana) Give a dog a bad name.............:) |

You could definitely not say I'm a fan of Telecom/Spark, but if someone has specifically targeted them with a malware/dos attack then there is very little they can do to stop it. The best they can do is identify and counter it. No-one else has these problems, probably, because they were not the target. Lets put blame where blame is due - at the attackers not the victims. |

| 1383349 | 2014-09-07 10:21:00 | What has standard usage got to do with Telecon/sPark? Sub-standard is their absolute best shot, and they only achieved that once (by fudging the scorecard). ;) | R2x1 (4628) | ||

Until they find whats causing it and fix it. I don't know why Telecom don't disable people with large amounts of data coming from them though....then again I have no idea how they track/fix this sort iof thing. Anyway, it wasn't that big a deal, it was slow and laggy, had to reload pages a few times but the internet wasn't down. |

According to the article, they were, but when they blocked one attacker, someone else started up. There are all sorts of ways to do it: en.wikipedia.org |
