I suppose if those idiots were driving the Internet rather than being
poorly educated consumers (addicted to twatish fantasies).

One problem is lack of regulation on propagating as news what is actually
opinion or speculation or just click bait story telling... I've never been
a fan of things that look like censorship but when things become dangerous
and the average person can't tell fact from fiction it seems we're the
wrong side of the line....

Yeah, explain to them idiots out there that 70Ghz is not the same as X-Ray

the point of burning down masts and abusing engineers like that?
I really feel for them engineers on this one!

Agree with Steve on spam, and I can’t believe the number of asshat

any more effective than the last stupid idea they had.

Spam is up, lots of unsolicited direct messages.. in particular a Claire
Durber of Stratus keeps emailing our staff addresses selling leased lines
etc, and ignores responses to cease...
We're seeing up to 50% increase in the last month on backbone circuits,
this is mostly private capacity but also ixp and cloud direct connect. It
seems to be continuing to increase rather than a one time shift too.
