Tiscali blocking P2P, EVE, CoD4, Quake Wars multiplayer? |

Word is that loyal subscribers of Tiscali's broadband ISP service in the UK are being blocked from accessing certain sites, as well as P2P (peer-to-peer) services, during certain times of the day. Some have also complained that overall access throughput has been degraded during such hours, though others complain having intermittent problems in other parts of the day.
Gamer complaints include connectivity issues to servers running EVE Online, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (on PS3), and Enemy Territory: Quake Wars (assumed on PC). Some Sony PlayStation 3 users have also complained that they cannot access the PlayStation Network, denying them of updating their console on time or any online activity.
Information gathered from the service's forums suggest that Tiscali is still investigating the problems and trying to figure out what could be the cause. As of press time, there is no official word on the matter of P2P blocking. So for now, this'll run under rumors until the air clears.
There seems to be a growing dissent among the subscribers, however, and some even have claimed that Tiscali is in breach of contract for exercising port and service blocking. More information to come as developments roll by.
Many thanks to Eggyclaw for the tip!

id recommend www.eclipse.net.uk as a good provider. Theres no tie in, you just pay month on month if you like.
Also have you guys tried checking what shows up when you do test network connection? If it shows type 3 you need to open up a port on your router, or enable netwok plug and play. it should ideally show type 1 or 2. Its all in the online instructions.
finnaly anyone else experienced odd behavior with video chat. me and my mates got oursleves ps eye's (40 quid in game, with a copy of eye of judgement). anyway for some reason my outgoing video feed doesn't update, though its fine for my m8's are are also with eclipse as their isp. if i hide and then show my video it updates but then only once.
i've since upgrade by isp package as i was still on an old limited package with slow upstream, but not retested it since. i was getting 2meg down, 200up previously.
Where as my new package is getting me abouy 6meg/350.
Any ideas?
