In the last week or so, Vispa has started blocking the common ports for Bittorrent and (i believe) several other p2p protocols.
As a Vispa customer, I feel this is totally unacceptable. If they have issues with an individual user (be they traffic volume or piracy) they should contact them directly NOT attempt to block protocols en-masse for all users. Bittorrent especially is a very useful tool for distributing legitimate content, for example Linux distros and the recent XP SP2.
Does anyone else have experience of other ISPs adopting this approach?
After reading several recommendations on this site I had high hopes when I joined Vispa. My experience however has been poor and I would not recommend them to anyone else.
Can anyone recommend an ISP that would be an good alternative, unlikey to take such a high handed approach in the future?
I'm thinking of returning an old school ISP like PIPEX or my favourite ISP of umpteen years ago Demon.
