Good laugh: "Internet Usage Guidelines"


I wonder if these ISP's ever read their own Acceptable Use Policies...

Extract from the one of the luxembourgish P&T
(http://www.luxdsl.lu/pdf/userguidelines.pdf):

System abuse is strictly prohibited. Actions which constitute system
abuse include, but are not limited to:

· attempting, in any way, to interfere with or deny service to any
  user or any host on the Internet;

So if you connect on my port 25, I must accept the TCP connection, and
merrily serve any SMTP transaction you engage in? The same for HTTP
proxying requests, file "sharing" requests, etc.

"Obviously" what is meant is "don't engage in a Denial of Service
attack", but well... Their AUP still wins the prize of the most stupid
one :)
