Lately » Is your ISP spying on you or modifying web traffic?
Oh no, one of the most sacred things in my (and probably your?) life, Internet, is losing its magic with every greedy move made by a large corporation.
Just imagine surfing the web, visiting your favorite website, and all of the sudden, that same website shows content injected by your ISP. The notice shows your ISP's name and logo, and a warning about your approaching monthly bandwidth limit. The same notice could well be an advertisement too, just wait and see.
Well as it looks like this horror story is becoming a reality, and my nightmare is, you guessed it, this practice is being tested by my ISP, Rogers Communications Inc.
Is there anybody who could hijack Google's homepage? Yes, your ISP! Just read further:

Well, as you said that is very serious issue.
My friend had individual isolated case with Bosnian ISP when he had personal conflict with some guy who was admin in that ISP and who manually blocked DNS to access to bihferrariklub.com
We could not even explain to dumb journalists how serious is that. Luckily there will always be alternative.
