Hi Guys,
This wont be much help, but here goes.
Homecall and Pipex are the same company. Not sure if they're owned by Tiscali or not. They say that they do not block ports but use traffic management in peak hours coz people are abusing fair use policy. ie using P2P programs. I dont know how they do it, unless there's something in the modem that can tell them when you are on Limewire. I've tried every remedy suggested here and on Apple's forums but nothing works. Now I'm stuck with these f@nnies for 11 months!!
- I've got mates on Tiscali who have no problems with Limewire, Bit Torrents etc.
- I've got a (supposedly slow) 512kbs broadband connection at work with a different ISP which works perfectly with P2P and is faster than my 8Mb Homecall!

End of rant.
