Heads up

[I_Hate_Sky_Awnsers]

apparently sky are bringing in a new system for checking if people are using their own routers and are going to terminate people

there has been at least one termination that i have heard of

don't shoot the messenger

eeeeeeeek !!!!!!!!!!!!

[slickric21]

Noooooooooooooo

When, what, how..... Tell us more PLEASE

[I_Hate_Sky_Awnsers]

lol im not saying that it is a guarantee that it will be implemented. just what i have heard

But apparently it set to auto-run and then flag up the accounts that are using 3rd party routers

I no that it can be notices in LAMA but apparently the reason for the system is that it flags accounts without the account holder having to call for technical support

[I_Hate_Sky_Awnsers]

slickric21 honestly dont know anymore that what i have said was told about it tonight.

if i find out anymore when back in work i will post it

Simple answer to them on this: Supply everyone with a fully WiFi n (300Mb, dual frequency)/1Gbit LAN router and they won't have any problems.

Whilst their routers are only WiFi g capable, then they could loose out if anyone took them to court over 'unfair contract terms'.

[User05]

Where'd you hear that this is due to be implemented?

[I_Hate_Sky_Awnsers]

someone that used to post on hear before, heard when i was in work tonight cant say its is a 100% definite but thought that i would post just incase

i agree Scubbie i am not saying that it is a good idea just what i have heard

About identity
thats why I did my speed through speed.io doesn't give the server location and dont have an exchange code in my name.
if i wasn't to lazy i would post while using hotspot shield to make my ip look like its coming from america

I dunno how Sky would ever get hold of our IP addresses here (or match that to identifying info), but I post through a proxy anyway. I guess in case one day I want to spill some huge company secret or something.

It isn't to be done from here that was a separate matter being talked about earlier.

Think that it's to be a system which checks all sky BB lines for the use of a 3rd party router not 100% sure how it's going to be done but if I find out more I will post it.

Think that it can currently been seen in a current CST system if a 3rd party router is being used but not sure which one though. Think it's LAMA but I never noticed when I have used it.

user05 would know much more since he works in CST
