Max,

Thanks for your constructive feedback!

Take your point that DDOS attacks are niche at the moment but the general feeling seems to be that they might not stay that way.

Surely the best strategy is for the industry to cooperate and evolve effective ways of combating such attacks now? The attitude taken by BT and CW isn't exactly constructive: 'We'll help but it'll cost you'.

Call me idealistic but it would be nice to think that our two leading ISPs would want to cooperate and create a safer web for everyone to do businesses on.
