Spam slows down ISP

NEW ZEALAND'S largest ISP Xtra has had its entire systems slowed because of spam.

According to stuff.co.nz, yesterday it took up to 24 hours for Xtra to get an email to its destination because its servers are so clogged with junk.

That is the same length of time it takes New Zealand Post to get a snail mail to an address in the same town.

A spokesperson for Xtra said the problem was temporary and seemed to be caused by a dramatic increase in junk email and email.
