Thats Cool.....The list of ISPs doing this is getting bigger and bigger by the minute...I hope you have luck with yours....Maybe you should ditch them and find a new one....

Ye, i am with wanadoo now (not just cos of limewire but other problems as well) but they have a policie where they ask for people using p2p networks to only download after a certain time in the evening so hopeuly they wont do this but even if they do, we have only just gone so are still in contract! Never mind, i will just hope for the best!

Cheers for the help

I too have used BT in the past but never again, I find them to be one of the most deceitful phone/ISP companies in the UK.

If you check their TV adverts, they always seem to promise more than you will actually get or after revising their products downwards they pretend that they are doing their customers a favour.

So, it is no surprise that only when their backs are up against it that they finally and publicly admit that they are throttling back on P2P users and say that they are doing it for the benefit of their customers.

BT see their customers as sheep to be fleeced.
