Re: ISP that don't block p2p programs
 

I think all that's about to change my friend, having mad drama with BellSouth, especially in the past week...we may have to become dual citizens, move abroad a bit, I could use the rest!

I use Talktalk in the Uk and at first when I subscribed it all worked fine, but for the last couple of months I cannot connect.
My friend who lives next door to me is using the same isp with the same speed and he has no problems at all. I tried every avenue you can imagine to see if I could rectify this connection problem but could not resolve it. Eventually my friend put his user name and password into my connection and it worked fine again, so it would seem that they can target individual computers. When I rang them to find out why I could not connect with my user name and password but could using my friends on the very same computer they just pleaded ignorant and gave me a technical helpline number charged at fifty pence a min. Surely this is breaking the agreement of a contract to supply you with a fully operational internet connection?

I am also on talk talk and have the same problem i have used limewire before then switched to bearshare now im back with limewire and have changed my firewall settings, it will return searches and show it is connected (varies graetly in strenght, the icon at the bottom indicates). i have also noticed that when using bearshare at early hours of the morning it seems to work loads better i dnt know if this is due to hosts from other countrys coming online or if its somthing to do with talk talk limiting me during the day?? any1 got any ideas?

Sucks dude
 

Cablevision does not work dude. :mad: I'm located in the Bronx, NY area and Cablevision is trying to pull a fast one on us dude, I say boycott. Call there office number 1-718-617-3500. Us computer guys and gals need to stand up to these money hungry companys i say Verzion is the way to go and there cheaper:D .......Stand up for your Rights.............

I'm using TimeWarner cable for my connection. I can share files both ways, but all of a sudden my firewall won't go down. Traffic has slowed considerably.

Verizon DSL in Brooklyn,NY DOES work

Same with me.

Telstra BigPond in Oz do not block but do say they have Unlimited downloads which really means that once you have reached your plans quota you get shaped to 64kpb/s...:rolleyes_2:

Source Cable (ontario canada) : I just called them and they confirmed that they DO slow P2P program speeds...

Aapt = Good
 

I am with AAPT in Australia and they are perfect. I am running a 512K connection

I use Verizon DSL.

I have lost LW with Los Angeles Verizon and my girl has lost it in NEwport Beach with SBC Global. Both are recent. What the devil is goingon....and why? Please, lets try and work on a universal fix.

If it's Verizon then they're selectively shaping certain areas. I have Verizon(PA) and have no problems connecting. When I do have problems, it's related to my router. Which occasionally has to be reconfigured(it's a bit of a lemon).

Don't worry Comcast in Tn is not any better, it blocks Limewire for me too

one computer at a time...:(
 

After a serious "dump" from simply letting my laptop go into sleep mode one night, Dell Computer techs (God bless'em) reconfigured my computer and, as if by magic, LW was back. I write this to let all know that the local blocking can be fixed. I do not know what method they (or who) is using to block LW access, but it does seem to be something inserted into individual computers (virus type), rather than an an unscaleable wall from without. Just one man's opinion, but the wall can be broken one computer at a time.

limewire blocking
 

sky broadband (netgearwireless modem) seems to be blocking connection to my limewire

i think Telmex is blocking mine!!

time warner/road runner
 

National Techinal Support: Limewire is a psp file sharing application and we no longer allow them on our network, we block them for spyware reasons and because of illegal copyright infrigement.
Me: What do you suggest I do then?
Techinal Support: We can't provide you with that information ma'am we don't recommend any file sharing because it's "illegal" and a secuirty risk. You have a nice eveing.... (hung up)

Me: Funny how porn of every shape and description is all over roadrunner and how yahoo spyware detects at least 30 adware hits durning 24 hours but you as a corporation go through such great lenghts to ensure the security of your network

Any ideas for a dsl/or cable provider for high speed in NC other than time warner or statlitte. What ticks me off is they know they own the market here and can get away with this.

Comcast works in the Houston, Texas area with Limewire. Comcast is NOT comcastic!

I just checked with frontiernet - They don't block service
