Top 10 UK ISP's Who's Customers Receive the Most Spam

The below figures indicate the Top 10 spam targeted UK Internet Service Provider’s (ISP’s) and thus reflects which ISP is potentially the most harmful, to date. The percentage reflects how many of the individual ISP’s customers’ emails are indeed spam.

1. Orange = 96% average spam rate
2. Toucan = 92.5%
3. Force 9 = 90.3%
4. UK Servers = 89.9%
5. Pipex = 88.5%

7. Sky = 84.9%
8. BT Internet = 84.7%
9. Talk Talk = 82.8%
10. Tiscali = 81.3%

Research showed that a massive 96% of all emails that have gone through the ClearMyMail anti-spam system via Orange ISP’s, were either spam or virus related. This is bad news for Orange, whose last quarterly results saw them at only 6th place, with an 89% average spam rate.

In contrast, Talk Talk and Force 9 have demonstrated some positive results; Force 9 was previously the leader with a 95% average spam rate, dropping 4.2% this quarter. Talk Talk has, by far, revealed the greatest improvement, dropping from 2nd place in Q4 2007 with a 95% average spam rate, to a significantly lower 82.8%, tumbling to 9th place.
