If they block p2p, then you might be a bit stuffed...I doubt changing ports would help. Check the thread below, you might find something to help but no guarantees!

Switching ISP is the obvious fix but it depends on whether you signed a contract for a specified term...you might end up having to pay a fee to get out of the contract.
If you do go looking for a new ISP, check their Acceptable Use Policy or Fair Access Policy (sometimes this info is found in general Terms & Conditions too). That will often tell you whether the ISP is anti p2p. Google the ISP & search for these policies, often the customer service people won't give you a straight answer or aren't aware that it's going on:wink:

You could also add WHTV to this thread of providers who block/filter p2p...might help someone in the future.
