Yes, that's what they said, clearly not understanding the problem. Here's the quote --start quote-- Thank you for writing AT&T BroadBand Cable Internet Services regarding the Internet service and Port 80. I apologize for any inconvenience which you have experienced with our filter on Port 80. NOTE: We do not block your access to sites such as www.yahoo.com or any others. It has been confirmed that a block will remain in effect (for reasons related to the Code Red worm) until AT&T BroadBand feels it is safe to remove it. This has been done to protect the network and we have no way of removing it or getting it removed, at this point in time. Please refer to the following section of the Terms and Conditions which are applicable to this issue: Section 10.9 You agree that AT&T and ServiceCo shall each have the right to take any action that either AT&T or ServiceCo deems appropriate to protect the Road Runner Service, its facilities and equipment. --end quote-- This shows they're filtering inbound traffic, but (supposedly) not outbound traffic. After this message I sent back a clear example where I explain telnetting to port 80 to check the connection. After that I got back a message that they're looking into the matter, which is probably the best response I've gotten out of them all weekend. Now we'll see if they really are looking into it.
