This is ridiculous.
I work at a very large Insurance Company.
We are allowed here to check our personal mail and sites on break times, lunch, etc. That's what the company told us way back.
About 1 month ago, they told us that too much browsing of audio/video clips were hurting the bandwidth and they would block video/audio clips for the time being until the problem was resolved.
Well, now most videos/audio files (online radio, youtube, mp3 files) are blocked and it doesn't look like they're coming back.
Now, I eventry to go to plain websites like drudgereport.com and the link that has just been sent 2600.com and they are also blocked.
talk about Big brother watching. I'm so sick of this.
Thank god I pay for internet at home and I have the freedom to see anything i WANT!!
I guess they are starting to block "controversial" site.
They even blocked FPL.com!!!
