The European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA) recently published the results of a survey on security and anti-spam measures implemented by European ISPs.

The good news is that nearly 90 per cent of ISPs offer free spam filtering for it's customers, handy indeed as recent reports show that there are 20 billion spam email messages received in the UK every day, which equates to 300 for every man, woman and child in the country.
Backing this fact up, UK ISP Eclipse said that during October it blocked 513 million spam e-mails using it's latest software installation developed by IronPort Systems.

Customers are urged to check which, if any, security measures that an ISP provides before signing up to a lengthy contract, picking the right provider could save you up to £60 by not having to fork out for a security package.
