Re: In regards to Telus's port blocking
said by Big Daddy10:
I just spoke with Telus this morning.. They say it is for spam reasons, viruses etc.. Then he says well I can get the server package and then the ports are not blocked and I would get a static ip. Why is it that security is not a problem if you pay them more money? It is so not a virus issue. They need to be honest about it.
Because chances are if you pay that extra fee for a 'server' account, you know what you're doing... |

I know lots of people with server plans that have no idea what they are doing. So this isn't actually the case. It's just a poor excuse. |

The reason why TELUS rep are telling you to go with the server plan is that if TELUS find a server plan that spam or send virus TELUS can block the traffic for that ip ONLY. Now if TELUS have a regular customer "dynamic ip" that spam or send virus TELUS will block the ip that the customer is using but a lot of people know that if you release renew you get another ip so you are not blocked anymore and you are still spamming!! doing that several time on various account can kill a complete pool of ip!!! |

| not quite.
when you release the IP, it's released back to the pool for someone else to pick up immediately. hence, RELEASE/renew.
