24 hours and it's still unclear to what is happening. From what I can tell is that I'm getting prosecuted/sued for cyber crime.

I've had almost every person I've spoken to, laugh at my situation. They think its a joke. When you get investigated or told to get lawyers, you should be told your fault and what exactly you've done incorrectly. All I've officially been told thus far is "AUP breach", which has been stated as if they are ship crewman about to sink. Not a single point of evidence has been brought forward.

As to the ethics of this. I was informed of this initially through SMS (with 2 sort-of usefull words) at 3am. Neither an email nor a phone call. Instead I have to email them to find out... Explain this to me, to why I must do the work.

Nothing to my knowledge of what I've done with CW for the past month (my first proper month) should implicate such a severe reaction and ball drop.

If I were to have done anything incorrectly, should I not be warned first? Which I have not been, not a single email or a simple communications means sent to me.

After been banned of live chat and not getting proper email replies besides one liners. I think I've about had enough.

Just to add another comical comment, one of their support guys said that their "legal" team had a meeting yesterday morning. Not realizing at the time, that meeting was for me.

@ajan Any chance you have a shared internet connection? Is it just you using it?

If you had a better connection maybe you could have streamed it rather than having to dream about it :p

This is for the CW folk in this thread... What exactly is "Evonet Wireless"?
Clicking on more info gets me to your XtremeTTH splash, with November 1st as the date for info. I'm in one of those circle jobbies on your coverage map and right now, I'm hopelessly stuck on mobile data. Any, repeat any, escape from my current internet hell will be met with jig dancing and beer drinking.
Can you guys talk about it or do I wait 'Till Tuesday?

That's what they're using for their wireless rollout of the first stage of FTTH, from the looks of it. Appears to be a Mikrotik product? I'm way too tired to tell.

For those of you who have lots of time to invest in the next two days, you can try logging the coordinates of their suggested towers from this XML file that pops up when you search for "Evonet wireless" locally:

http://www.crystalweb.co.za/kmls/evonet.kml

This appears to only be for some Gauteng areas. The ones listed are:
  • Boksburg
  • Alberton
  • Benoni
  • Illovo
  • Constantia
  • Cresta
  • Morningside
  • Bryanston
  • Randburg
  • Sandton
  • Lonehill
  • Northcliff
  • North Riding
  • Waterfall
  • Greenstone

CW has their own legal team, and then they have Paul. I'm not sure if anything slips past them legally.

I highly doubt they have an inhouse legal division and as far as I'm aware Paul is not a lawyer or advocate.

If you had to guess, what do you think could have caused this drama?

You a hacker?
Use a petabyte of open time data?
Habitually paying late?
Running a criminal syndicate?
Downloading Celine Dion?

@ajan, best thing to do right now is get a legal representive. I would also suggest you look at your internet usage, what sites you have frequented and so on. Also as the guys have mentioned, are you sharing your internet connection with anybody in your home or even outside etc. Best to check on this, because if not secure, somebody else could do some serious damage. Sorry to hear about your troubles, but best to get that lawyer and get an IT expert, or a very smart person to run through everything possible.
