I am having the same problem, and Apple keeps triggering me to change my Apple
ID. I am now realizing this may be related to our broadband. I also had my
credit card hacked twice this year, once very recently, so perhaps this is also
fall out from our broadband.
I want a more detailed understanding of the situation, and what to do about it.
Can you folks involved in the broadband management tell us more? I, for one,
like the idea of building in the capacity to isolate where "problems" are
coming from, that David mentioned in his email a couple weeks ago. This would
make the system more "secure" because problems can be solved speedily.
And, is there anything we can do to work toward fiber optics? I've lost the
story on this one.
a grateful and concerned broadband patron,

Jim,
We are having the same I’m not a robot phenomenon any time we try to access a
website, or even use the online dictionary. Says it’s detecting unqualified
activity. Doesn’t happen in other locations. Also, the photos are hazy and hard
to interpret.

Yes Rick. I also don't know what my "credentials" are. Sorry to be so dense.
I'm sure it's obvious to a whole lot of folks.
Also, several news locations ask me to confirm that I'm not a robot. That has
come up so frequently lately that I don't trust anyone enough to click anything
on command. What do folks know about that happening now. Any manipulative
requests around this?

Warwick Broadband have an IP blacklist problem. We almost cured it last month
and now it is very much back. We need everyone to change their email
credentials and run antivirus protection.
We believe the blacklisting is caused by SPAM being sent from one or more
subscriber computers. But, it may be IP spoofing, using our customer’s email
credentials from a remote site. Fixing this requires running antivirus software
on your computers and keeping the protection current.
If this is happening remotely (meaning: not on our network) the fix is for
folks to change their email passwords. That way a remote server can’t
successfully pretend to be one of us.
Studying this today added another element to ponder: are websites blocking our
IPs because they see too many connections coming from it?
Options we are considering include implementation of carrier class network
address translation where customers are assigned to a unique port range which
means we can track down offenders with some snooping; using public IP4
addresses; or implementing public IP6 with support IP4). The advantage of the
public IP address use will be that only the “offender” will be impacted by
blacklisting.
