No kind of monitoring, filtering, throttling or traffic control is
currently legally required of UK Internet service providers. What is
implemented at BitFolk is done for operational reasons and is
described here:
https://bitfolk.com/policy/dpa.html
under "Customer data".
At the moment the only form of monitoring taking place on customer
network traffic is measuring the rate of outbound SSH connections
(TCP port 22 SYN).
Note that it's entirely possible for there to be specific court
ordered monitoring in place which a service provider is ordered to
not discuss.
or is anticipated?
We'll have to see how/if the "BT vs. rights owners of the world"
case turns into legislation. That seems the most likely route for
new legislation at the moment.
Cheers,
Andy
