Angry TalkTalk UK ISP blocking p2p

Just got off the phone with TalkTalk. Since p2p applications use up a big chunk of bandwidth, they have decided starting from 1 March they will be blocking p2p file sharing between the hours of 9am to 1am to enable an efficient service to all its customers. So to all those who use TalkTalk as their ISP we only have 8 hours a day to use LW. I'll find out tonight if this is true. I hope this answers a few queries.

We were already aware of TalkTalk shaping p2p bandwidth, but that is nice to hear they don't do it 24 hrs a day! ISP's known to BLOCK or Filter p2p or specifically Limewire I've just sent a pm to someone (yet to post) who was inquiring about their problem. And TalkTalk was their problem. So hopefully this can give them a little hope.

Yes it is tough. If you do change ISP, need to shop carefully. Many ISP's in UK now shape p2p bandwidth. One of the issues is big business buying up smaller ISP's who retain their old name but use the parent company's policies or similar policies. So you may need to investigate to find out if in fact the ISP has a parent company.

Tiscali is a good example. They have spread their business europe wide including the UK.

have sent an email to t/t this morning but not hoping for any forthcoming answers/solutions as it's their bandwidth that gets "clogged up" with p2p users. have asked for confirmation of times when b/width is sqeezed to accomodate average joes as I read that there are varying times being banded about. this really gets my back up as i'm now tied to this mob for 18 months and unless there is someone out there who can make technology jump another 5 years within my 18 month contract then I'm screwed - i guess it's my own fault for not checking them out properly although i had never heard of b/width shaping before yesterday.
