Yes, they have finally become more *******s then ever before!
OK. They blocked my use of Shoutcast radio, so now I cant broadcast. Anyway around it?

How was it blocked?
1. Force it to use another port...
2. DDOS them! :p
3. Ring and tell them to remove it, unless it breaches THEIR TOC's, then... tough!
Well first they started changing my IP every day. And so I just got No-Ip ;) BUT now when I try to connect it doesnt work at all. And my settings havent been changed at all. :(Quote:

if they only blocked YOU then chances are that they will remove it, but I doubt an ISP would just do this to a certain user:rolleyes:
My friends radio still works and he has RR but he is in a different city.Quote:

the worst thing that an ISP would do is, I guess, to disconnect you and ban you from that ISP... unless you do something really wrong
Except when it comes to the RIAA, right? :rolleyes: ISPs were coughing out names faster than I cough cigarette fumes. :ehh:Quote:

thats not what I meant. If someone legally files a complaint, then they would help them. What I mean is that the ISPs dont really look to see who's downloading illegal software from newsgroups or whatever...Quote:

Mine does. They called me before and asked to stop downloading movies....but that was off IRC. Now that I have been downloading files off kazaa i havent heard a word from them. Would it be safe to go to their site and talk to one of the technicians?? He can't check my shtuff can he? :wave:Quote:

I'm on rr and the company owning the hitman game complained to my ISP cuz I posted *ahem ahem cough cough* to newsgroups (dumb me:D) and my ISP just disconnected me. I called them and there were like, we try to protect our customers, you just have to agree that it won't happen again and we'll reconnect you :) so it was nice hehe
Did you change ISP's? I don't have any other choices in my area
no no no, they were really nice to me :DQuote:

well since you dont have any other choice I guess it's better to be careful with your ISP... you dont want to be internet-less :(
I disagree, I have always had problems with ISP's:Quote:

My previous ISP (Skyweb) hated me. Why, because I didnt like it that my net connection would be on for 5 minutes and then off for 20min so I called and talked to tech support. No matter what they tried they couldnt fix it and after about being at my place 6 times (and f***ing up my firewall so bad i had to re-install my os :mad:) (by that time I new the guys that came out and even helped them out with a few computer problems, and they didnt send the guy back that screwed up the firewall)
At one time the Tech support ppl (over the phone) told me that the wires had to *learn* :confused:
They said that they couldnt do anything about it and if a kept calling tech support they would drop my service. i told them fine and the next time it screwed up, I bashed their modem and threw it across the basement :D (yes I have been to anger management).
Then 6 months after discontinuing the service and receving threats that they would send a collection agency i returned their hardware. (i pass the building almost every :D)
Is RR allowed to check what I download with packets or w/e?
CAN I STOP THEM!?!? AAAAHHHHHHHH THERE HERE!! HELP []F THWER IO *silence*

Have you tried reading your ISP's Acceptable Use Policy? This is like me asking how do I get around my ISP's policy of no more than 1gig uploaded and 2 gig downloaded a day. It isnt going to happen.
RR has been quite nice:D I've left my comp on for 5 days, downloading with full speed 24 hours :eek: so that was 120 hours at 250-300 kbps :) (hard disk space!)Quote:

[storytime] Ok so the phone rang and I picked it up without asking who it was and said "Hello?". And she was like "Hello is Suzanne Wonder there?" And im like "No" and the lady is like well ok. And the reason i got so scared is because she sounded serious and mad. So then I pressed star *69 and got the number and was sweatin while I looked it up and all. So then I was reading results of that number and looked to the right in the phone book and saw road runners number and it had all the same digits except the last one. I was like PHEW![/storytime]
