Do you trust your isp ?

[Daljeet]

An anonymous report claims to provide evidence that Internet service providers in the UK are spying on their customers, but it's all a question of trust, says Sophie Curtis

If I trust, i IPS. Why not?....

 

[Plebman123]

I personally trust my ISP for many reasons.

• THEY SUPPORT NET NEUTRALITY
• They always give me the download/upload speeds i pay for unlike *COMCAST*

But the prices of mine are kinda iffy,but to answer the question yes i trust my ISP.

I "trust" my ISP.

First, I don't have much of a choice. Second, I don't think I have the power/influence to investigate what they do. And third, I enjoy the services they offer.

I trust them, but I don't just give in with what they ask. If it's okay to say no, then I say no.

Joking? ofc not :notworthy:Especially here!

I trust my ISP, they always are very friendly on the phone or if they have to drive to your address for some kind of issue, my ISP is STOFA A/S, and they give me the speed that they promise.I pay for 300/50 Mbps, but in reality, I have 320/50.

In God I trust only Talking about my ISP is ok but I don't know if it spies on me. I am always connected to Vpn. But in the same time I don't make any illegal activity. I am a law -abiding Nikolay

No, but I have evidence as to why I shouldn't. But also, talking with other DOCSIS Engineers, you shouldn't trust your ISP either.

My (fairly large) ISP was involved in the NebuAD scandal. A CIA front company, commonly known as PHORM. They routed traffic to appliances that modified packets inserting trackers/ads and gathered extensive telemetry on people without notifying them or providing an OPTOUT. When the CIA folded up NebuAD my ISP switched to Paxfire type technologies to do similar things. My ISP refuses to encrypt even the most simple things, like their email offered to customers. They also use NXDOMAIN redirects to harvest ad-clicks from unsuspecting people. They also host mirrors of common CDN's, DNS and others, mirrors I don't trust to be totally safe so I redirect my traffic to different mirrors outside of their scope.

I use them because they are fast and reliable. But I do not trust them and take precautions against their activities. Room 641A should have been a wakeup call not to trust ANY of these ISPs.

Yes, i trust it, its Ziggo ( liberty global )
And T-Mobile ( Deutsche Telekom )

They are both great!

For anyone living outside (or inside if you weren't aware) the UK, know that ISPs here are legally obligated to retain domain-level browsing history of each individual user for 12 months. They're also duty-bound to aid in the targeted interception of data and communications, and run equipment interference for persons under active investigation.

As for me, I keep a VPN permanently connected. That hopefully answers the trust question.

 

[mlnevese]

I do not have much choice... They are the only broadband provider where I live that actually deliver the speed specified in the contract...

 

[dinosaur07]

I usually don't trust it but neither I can do much than be chill and cautious or vigilant on their behavior.

 

[FrFc1908]

My isp kpn is in my opinion the best you can get in the netherlands imho , but I do not dare to trust them entirely.

One should not "trust" anything digital to the same extent that one cannot deny "Stuff happens..."

Subtle life logic in that statement.

 

[Weebarra]

No, my ISP are the biggest load of lying, cheating, shysters that i have ever come across (yes, i hate them but i am in a situation where i have no choice like some other people here) but to be honest, i don't think i would trust any of them, yes i know i am an untrusting person i'm afraid

 

[Deleted member 178]

I dont trust it but i don't care anyway; i don't do serious criminal/illegal stuff.

 

[antreas]

I don't trust them. I even ask them if they check users if they download torrents or spy of any kind and they said no. We are a small island in europe thanks god we are not like USA ISP that sell you out for some more money. Always connected to VPN 24/7 to be sure i am safe from goverment and any other kind of danger.

 

[DeepWeb]

Yes and No. At&t has arguable the most secure servers I have ever seen. Practically invisible to the Internet and they all use DNSSEC, unspoofable, etc. And I noticed that they have begun to fend off copyright notices and protect their user's privacy so I respect them in that department. On the other hand, they will hand over information on me to the government in a heartbeat if things hit the fan.

 

[L S]

YES ....... But I Always put a side - 10%-15% - in "Reserve" for who knows what can happen ?!?! .......
....... So it looks like : 85%-90% = YES & : 10%-15% = NO. .......
....... (If anyone can understand me what I mean). - But I Voted - YES. .......

 

[BearHug]

Why not? I mean there are only few cases like that!
