a staff member from net4u was bragging on irc the other day about the jetstream bandwidth issue. what they are doing is authenticating jetstream starter users (fastip) as jetstream users (fastipdirect). I think this is most likely a screwup on telecom/net4u's behalf.. perhaps their account manager set it up this way for a reason? perhaps net4u ask for jetstream ports instead of jetstream starter?

either way guys, word of advice.. if your ripping people off.. dont go bragging about it on irc. I believe the staff member in question was only 14 years old. What possible use could he have been? He was also in the news recently, related to the captain bob spam fiasco..

Seems either the herald is reporting on a lot more geeky stuff. Or People are just becomeing stupid / dishonest. Im mean that seriously. If i was in the position to be working at an ISP (even if it *was* net4u, which i dont have a very high opinion of right now) I wouldn't do anything to put that at risk. I doubt the people responsible for that will be employed in (big) IT again. Sahil is only a year older than me. Really i think that gives young geeks a bad name. And how this got turned into talk of ^god and co. and their spamming antics is beyond me. It has on relevence at all to nznog, take it to #lusers or something. But it did give me a good laugh. :) Cheers, Rob EOFF

cheers
