> All the most common US ISPs are there… AT&T, Comcast, Verizon, CenturyLink. IPs from Charter Communications in their Midwest, Texas, Pacwest and Northeast regions. ISPs I’ve never heard of before… who the heck is Delcom? Turns out they are serving some rural communities in Texas. Did NordVPN buy servers or connectivity from them?
I've been seeing a ton of these guys' advertising lately. If it turns out they're also reselling your bandwidth?
Still, I'd like to see someone take a peek at their local client traffic for any suspicious activity before coming to any conclusion.
Edit: I guess allegedly the 'botnet' aspect is provided not by other NordVPN users but by malware provided by companies associated with NordVPN.
