Charter cable is "requiring" us to have a free new HD box also. we received free new modems a few years ago that has the lights flash even when the computer is off, it has one red light all this time but somehow the light just turned green today...how can a red light turn green after years, two colors of lights can't fit in that little space.

Wonder why the new one had the red blinking light in the first place all these years and now turns green.

I would DEFINITELY consider strongly a VPN service of some sort if I had them as my own ISP if I was going to be an outspoken critic of TPTB. As big as they are, and what they've gotten away with regarding their phone service, they are cozily in bed with the government and I have no doubt would cooperate fully with any logging, monitoring and surveillance.

A few weeks back, on a machine with a clean Linux install running a VPN, a trip-wire revealed some intruders in my machine. With the backdoors built into all operating systems, I'm not sure that any security measures will be safe.

The test is simple, if you have a smart TV connected to the internet just take an item and flashed in from of the TV or talk about it, you will be hit with commercials for the same product or alike.

I explained it. Read my post.

Thanks anyway but I don't see any explanation. It was red and there is no speed change and it is now green since a couple of days. it was always red flashing since it was installed steady day and night on or off.

Your computer has a microphone and camera. It is secretly listening in on you and filming you in real time.
So in other words, you believe urban legends.
Does this work if a computer doesn't have a camera or a mic?
It's is also extremely easy to prove or disprove what you say by firing up Wireshark or any other packet analyzer and see what is actually traversing the wire if you are on Ethernet and taking a similar approach if you are on 802.11.
How does it work if you are not connected to anything ?
I get being paranoid but you should back up your facts and not just report rumor as fact.
