| Nov 25, 2014 at 9:17 | comment | added | Ulkoma | Cause you don't know them nor trust them. You trust alpha but do you trust who they trust? If this was the case I trust the entire world | |
| Nov 25, 2014 at 9:09 | comment | added | Celeritas | @Ulkoma why do you find it necessary to use the word "third"? For example, if I were to replace all the times you say "third ISP" with just "ISP" what difference would it make? | |
| Nov 25, 2014 at 9:07 | comment | added | Ulkoma | Alpha and Beta has no physical connection between them but both have an agreement with a third ISP and they use it as a middle man. You trust alpha and beta but you had no idea there is a middle man, that's public to you | |
| Nov 25, 2014 at 9:01 | comment | added | Celeritas | "They belong to a third ISP" how do you count third? alpha has an ISP, beta has an ISP (though it may be the same as alpha), and now you're saying yet another ISP owns the public routers? | |
| Nov 25, 2014 at 8:58 | comment | added | Ulkoma | They belong to a third ISP that alpha and beta have an agreement with. I work for that ISP and in my lunch break I enjoy eavesdropping. Can you risk that? or your information isn't that important to you | |
| Nov 25, 2014 at 8:47 | comment | added | Celeritas | @Ulkoma ok. So are they public routers they pass through between the home router and the ISP? Who owns them, for example are they technically property of the ISP and are just lacking security so anyone can eavesdrop on them? | |

| Nov 25, 2014 at 8:37 | comment | added | Ulkoma | they actually pass through a series of public routers between alpha and beta. | |
