I would go ahead and get NTL Broadband, but just ensure you have a firewall which will block them.
I am using the NTL 56k, and they hit my firewall al the tme, although it is slightly annoying, its better i see them being blocked than not. Just make sure you have a firewall, and bock thier IP's and you'll be fine.
Hey, i`ve had the same problem from the same ip range. I use norton personal firewall. I`ve used it to trace the the knock on my firewall. I thought it was starange, and i thought i was the only one. btw i live in detroit and have comcast cable. ( cust Name PPPox Pool-rback4sktno1 ) they have been busy. thought it was some hacker.
who knows... but doesn look to be anti p2p at all
the three ntl ranges in the pg database will be removed shortly- to keep some peeps happy i'll submit the individual ip flooders that ppl were being reported at the pg forum
(the three ranges are bocking over 50,000 ips so those need to be removed)
well first off PG = crap.
second im on ntl and have had no problems with them, for christ sake i run a bittorrent tracker/forum from my home pc so im using ntl as a provider for illegal sharing on a grand scale, i think even in the contract it says you cannot use your isp/home pc to publish a public website (only ones for testing) well my forum has 3,000 members so i would say that was pretty public.
I dont use any firewall either, havnt used one for 8 months now, not even the crappy windows XP one. and ive had no one knocking at my door or sending me letters, ive also never been hacked either so all this about ip ranges etc is a load of balls if you ask me.
as far ntl being a waste of money £35 for a 1meg connection with a £10 discount every month and no cap on downloads either, ppl will say 1 gig a day but ive been doing 4 times more than that (at least) for the past 8 months and again no letters etc. so the cap hasnt exctly took off. basically if NTL were that good/bad at tracking p2p users i would be the first to get caught by them, as i am literaly advertising the fact all over the net that i am doing it lol.
go for NTL, you wont get a better deal, and cable is a lot better than adsl imo.

there's more to pg than just the prog (most ppl i know import the ips into a personal firewall anyways)- the peerguardian database (anti p2p ranges) is an important effort- the peerguardian faq link in my signature even says that pg isn't your best bet for protection...Quote:

and yeah i never thought ntl was involved in anti p2p tracking- i started this thread to get some info to quiet down those who thought it was some conspiracy lol- but this issue has been resolved as far i'm concerned (the ntl ranges will be removed)
sbc yahoo dsl
use hardware router
day time up to 100 attempts/second
night time up to 200 attempts/seconds
half from within my isps range
other half varies
both use ports natural to trojans and other malicious software
first section does lots of port scans
disconnected my router once to update it and the activity light which should have gone off continued flashing as if i was still connected for the duration
if your having problems with your current ISP....
MOVE!
