ISPs PISS Me Off

Here’s one more reason not to go with ADSL. I thought Tiscali were a great ISP but it turns out they’re the same as all the rest.

The part I’m worried about is “…Tiscali has indicated it wants to place a full block on peer-to-peer applications…”

They say “…at peak times during the evening.” but if the infrastructure is there, undoubtedly they’ll use it regardless with excuses such as “we need to conserve bandwidth”.

Wise up guys… just be a grown up and go FIBRE yourselves!

P.S - Virgin planning to up their XL speed (which I’m on :D) to 50MB/S
