Unpalatable as it might seem, bearing in mind the seemingly neverending series of attacks using home user PC's as bots, perhaps the time has come to reduce or stop home access. Especially broadband, by compelling UK ISP's to 'switch off' BB access to home users, followed by a 'switch off' of dial-up access.
Companies should perhaps look carefully to see who really needs Internet access. Think of the employee hours saved in not having to read e-mails. UK broadband, (ADSL & cable) is fairly pathetic anyway as to be almost useless compared to other countries. Prohibiting anyone under 21 having Interner access, including a shutdown of all access at schools & universities, etc.
As recent surveys indicate what many of us knew anyway. That the Internet is of dubious value in education.
Metaphorically painful perhaps & an extreme solution but the Internet seems to be dying anyway. Unless something is done to catch & severely punish the culprits & source of much of the recent woe, etc
