Yup, i cant totally believe that. Im on Tiscali 1Mb and it only started being slow a few months ago and sometimes it will randomly go fast for 1 or 2 downloads but nothing continuous. I think its a time thing, they block it during peak hours or something.
They do say something in their 'fair usage policy' about kicking P2P users in the backside

Anyway, i found a much better deal so im switching provider
