Karoo changes policy on plug-pulling

by Dave Foy on August 7, 2009

It is evident that we have been exceeding the expectations of copyright owners, the media and internet users. So, we have changed our policy to move in more line with the industry standard approach.

It’s nice to see our local ISP, Karoo, has changed their policy on cutting off alleged file sharers without warning, in keeping with industry norms.

Particularly nice as it happened to me recently, accused of sharing a Harry Potter movie when a) I don’t possess any Harry Potter movies, and b) I haven’t shared any movies.

Obviously, they wouldn’t have done this at all hadn’t the story been highlighted in a national newspaper. Still, mustn’t grumble, seeing as we’re stuck with them.

Speedy Gonzales?

Nice service to check your internet broadband download speed courtesty of SpeakEasy.

Strange how my ISP tell me my speed should be up to 8MB yet I seem to be getting 1.8MB at best…
