As I said above, retail customers. Business customers get static IPs and generaly no blocking. Business customers only get static from Comcast if they pay extra for it. I'm in a T-W area, haven't checked Comcast's prices lately. But if you don't have a static IP, it's a poor idea to try

Anything based on NNTP would be extremely asymmetric without significant changes to the protocol or human behavior. We ran significant Usenet servers with binaries for nearly 20 years and without for another 5 and the servers' traffic was heavily asymmetric. On Mar 1, 2015 9:11 AM, Miles Fidelman
