Telstra today conceded it had disconnected its news-group server from international newsgroups for five days in a move to avert a black ban from the international Usenet community.
Telstra has moved to terminate several BigPond user accounts and signaled a more aggressive anti-spam policy to avert the threat of being excluded from global newsgroup communities due to large volumes of spam being sent via BigPond news servers.
Telstra Bigpond ADSL customers were frustrated between 9pm last night and 11:15am today as network troubles kept them offline.
The Slammer worm wreaked havoc on Australian networks over the long weekend as it raged through the Internet.
Customers of several Telstra BigPond plans will be better off after December 1 as the telco giant responds to intense competition in the marketplace.
