It seems like almost every telephone company can be hit like that except the ?largest?... A denial of service attack by simply calling so many times it fills up their main trunks. And we saw how the large IP colo providers handle this for customers who get dos'd. The amount of bandwidth they have is staggering and they still cannot guarantee you will stay up if a ?skilled? attacker wants you down. So you keep throwing money at it until you are so well established online that you look at your monthly bill and want to puke. matt On Mon, 18 Aug 2014, Frank Bulk wrote:
