Hi All,
Comcast keeps blocking our mail server. They are saying that we are a
customer ON their network trying to send mail via another server. Anyone
else having trouble with them of late?
Here's the email back from them when I tried to find out WHY they are
blocking us. sigh
I have seen many advertisements be sneaky. By this I mean they give real
information with the intent to mislead. I take an approach of honesty in my

I am honest and forward with my customers, to a fault. I tell them when I
have issues at towers, with ISPs, with mistakes _I_ have made! It just seems
to work better than covering up everything with crazy messed up PR.
If they don't like that then they can go somewhere else. They will be back

Payment is to be made via paypal to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I forgot to mention

But the golden question is... When they come back, will you still be there?
Larger scale WISPs may be able to absorb the temporary loss of revenue, but
can the small WISPs afford to loose subscribers (for any duration)?
The key is damages. For you to benefit, you have

We already did that... with CableOne and with the WiMax competitor...
however, a lot of people don't check that before they read the ad in the

No seriously, definition of Monopoly...
