Although Ihave no idea if another isp would be an improvement.Random Reflectionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961882549625406258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18700538.post-8522009445570580562008-10-24T23:51:00.000+01:002008-10-24T23:51:00.000+01:00Yes they can see online connections.

I do think we kind of exploit countries like that.<BR/><BR/>That is really funny about what they said to you. I think aol have previously connected to my machine and looked at what I was doing (with my permission I might add). That was about a year ago though, so perhaps they can't do that now.Random Reflectionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961882549625406258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18700538.post-74811692474088014732008-10-24T23:33:00.000+01:002008-10-24T23:33:00.000+01:00Oh, and my isp is aol so I know how crappy their s...Oh, and my isp is aol so I know how crappy their support is.<BR/><BR/>I remember once that I asked them is they could 'see' my internet connection.

I think aol are just trying to be cheap...Random Reflectionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961882549625406258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18700538.post-52439598034209217022008-10-23T22:22:00.000+01:002008-10-23T22:22:00.000+01:00Part of my team are in india.
