there are many better ISPs that you can change to (although a few worse, if you go for the ones that charge so little they can't actually provide the service because it costs them more to deliver it than you are paying... surprise surprise you aren't going to get a service)
of course one plus side with them playing nanny and monitoring everything you do and giving you permission to do some things, you don't have to worry about legal problems, because they have already taken responsibility for your actions... so you can freely use your connection to launch an attack against the various anti-p2p groups websites if you wanted as a way of showing your anger, lol
ironically enough they don't even have a network wide blocking of winmx, they have the ability to exclude customers from their blocking... which they do do, but as far as i am aware the only customers of theirs they have given permission to use the internet are macrovision (yes, tiscali block access to p2p networks for legitimate users, but grant access to the company attacking the networks...)

That being said, and after following the post(s) on installing Winmx,forwarding ports to my router,allowing it through my firewall, im finding i cannot connect to the Winmx Peer Network, but i can however connect to OpenNap servers, is PG2 still interfering somehow? (its not running) Also im using Spybot S&D's host file, are the cache servers in that? Sigh, never a good time to install old favourites after overflowing the brain with information.
