the dam wall is there. ok, going to change my modem last try, if not going to ring up tiscali and get nasty. shall report back. give us 5 mins

ok, the new modem and the new program didn't work.
so i'm ringing tiscali.

what do i need to say, do you prevent p2p programes??

one last bit of help please

You could give them a ring and ask if they shape p2p, I don't know if it will do any good...I would personally ditch them and get a new ISP...
But if you do that make sure you research the company you choose, you don't want to go through all of this again...

i can't just ditch them as i have at least 8 months of my contract left and can't afford another.

bugger

Hi Sarah.
What I did with 9 months contract outstanding, was play them like a fiddle.
First read their Fare (LOL)User pollacy, so you know what it includes.
I then went to a hare Krsna site, where they have loads of large video files for
download, Where I highlight 10, 650MB files these are downloaded using my browser (Firefox).
I started these D/L's at 5-30pm & left them running until 11pm everyday without
fail. When they were finished I deleted them & started again.
OH!! Turn off Limewire before doing this Because if L/Ws running at 6pm, TISCALI automatically switches your connection to another server that they
Put all P2P users on.
For those with an unlimited connection, Surely This must be illegal, But no one has the money it costs to sue them. So what it needs is for 10 or so people in
England to get together and make an arrangement for each to pay £1 of each
others connection. Then withdraw payment, Tiscali will then take them to court.
In England you can get legal Aid to defend yourself & it all rests on the definition of the word Unlimited, even a crap solicitor could define that.
to much trouble ?
Then STUFF them like I did, after 3 weeks, OF FULL Downloads they were writing to me saying "we are writing to inform you that you can apply for your
mac code now, we will not hold you to, or enforce your contract"
Job Done. I'M now with NTL/Virgin & very Happy.
Your servant,
Peace.

I rang Tiscali about this and they asked me loads of tech questions they have tested my line and found nothing wrong, they say they will retest this, i suspect that they are just trying to fob me off as big companies normally do, i have already told the tech bloke that if it isnt sorted in 2 weeks that i will cancel my direct debit and that they can take me to court and i will then tell the court why i am not paying. Why should i give them my money every month for 4 hours service this is the amount of time i can connect for everyday that is providing i connect at 8am. The thing is i dont download a lot from Limewire and when i rang them they said there was no notes on my account to say that i do. Apart from this Tiscali are ok

Hi shantom
ask them direct, Are you shaping,Filtering or interfering in any way with P2P
They will only come clean when you ask for that in writing.
Tell them you want it for your solicitor, & see what they say.LOL
They are just thieves, claiming to give you unlimited connection then limiting you, to the programs approved by them that is illegal but hoo has the money to take them to court.
Peace.

In England its 6pm till 11pm when they block P2P other times of the day should
be OK, Well slow but working
I was with them for years before they started blocking, then they stuffed me in a big way.
Good luck,
Peace.
