I got no issue with TVants and PPstream

If all the p2p was blocked mabey we could all get that 20Mb after all eh>joke<

I`ll keep my ktorrent and wibbly wobbly bb connection me thinks.
I`m certainly not paying more for decent newsgroup access thats for sure!

Not if my connection sorts itself out once the new modem comes anyway, although i may well consider it with the continued savings i`ll be making IF they are`nt sorted out.:)

Most problems with P2P relate to the required ports not functioning correctly.

You may also find various trackers, especially private ones, only allow certain torrent clients.

i wish they would as Im fed up with pikeys using the bandwidth

Re: do virgin block p2p programmees?
 

If they ban p2p, then no one would be able to use Skype and similar programs that use p2p technology ;)

What have 'pikeys' got to do with anything?

Re: do virgin block p2p programmees?
 

Guess we are all pikey's,i would'nt have the internet if p2p world stopped.

I don't think you can get cable internet to a caravan...afaik VM will only install at fixed addresses.

Re: do virgin block p2p programmees?
 

I doubt the travelers would be too worried about having their very own VM installations......would`nt they just be using the local good folks unsecured wireless connections after all?;)

Re: do virgin block p2p programmees?
 

Oh Yes they do!!!!! And they are going to get worse. I have had Virgin for 3 months and it has been that bad for me, I am payin £120 to get rid of it. I have spoken to the engineers and they inform me this is about to get a lot worse.

Re: do virgin block p2p programmees?
 

Funny that, cos I torrent most nights and it downloads and uploads a lot while I'm doing it. If I go to bed about midnight, I can expect by the time I wake up about 8am, to have uploaded a gig or more, and downloaded more than that if I'm on a particular downloading spree.

They don't. They will be implementing application based throttling at some point, but it's not running at the moment.
