Mind what that would entail domestically I'm not sure, if they won't subm...errr comply.With children it's easy but a spouse?
Divorce,kitchen knife,frying pan,rolling pin..............
I'm not sure the police would be any help though.  |
That is exactly what the VM policy says, and I would hope that an account holder being made aware of a breach of user policy would do the responsible thing and at least try to work out what's going on.
Obviously the ISP wouldn't know the domestic situation of any household it has on their books, nor should it. Therefore it is reasonable for them to expect a level of compliance that leads to no further complaints, and where possible help out if there is a security leak, such as an open wireless router.
However, getting a spouse to stop sending offensive emails would be a challenge, but flashing the letter from their ISP in front of them may get them to think twice.
For me I have a very secure wireless network, each PC/Laptop is firewalled, and all family members are instructed in proper Internet use.
