Internet monitoring tools for cursing out cable Internet provider.

[Fabio A Mazzarino]

 Brian:

 Sometimes, discover that your 128kbps link is actually a 12,8 kbps
link won't mean a better connection after a asking for a better
connection to your provider.

 Take a very good read to your contract. Here at home (Telefonica) I
can't say a word if I discover that I'm 50% below contracted link, the
contract garantee only 10% with a limited number of outages of less
then 30 minutes. :o/

 Anyway, back to your question, runing something from apache doesn't
mean that others then yourself will have access. Probably your ISP
will block port 80, and you can also block it by yourself with a
simple modification at httpd.conf, then you access your "service"
using http://localhost/service

 mazza.
