Skybox and Sly Broadband

Re: Skybox and Sly Broadband

Sorry you haven't convinced me. By my reckoning, less than a quarter of the channels on vermin are sly channels. If sly went out of business, which I don't see happening in my lifetime, it would leave vermin with a few million more potential subscribers on both their cable and broadband platforms.
But that's just my opinion.

If you read around the net it seems that it would be better to use another internet provider rather than sly when using c/s just to be on the safe side

I still think if you are a client there is no need to worry and searching the internet
has only shown that sly cancelled the cards that they thought were used for card
sharing.
Therefore it would be the servers who would have to take the greater security
precautions.
Being with vermin does reduce the risk:

Notice that you dont have to be with a particular ISP to get caught by 'monitoring'. Pretty much every ISP has reciprocal agreements concerning data transit from other ISP's and data routes change frequently (thats how the internet works) so you can never guarantee that your data wont transit a particular ISP's data domain. Even if your with VM, there's nothing to guarantee that your data wont be routed via a sky network at some point, or vice-versa.
