Given that the Research Councils have been well and truly done over by the government, to the point where STFC tried to withdraw the UK from Gemini to save money - where the hell are we going to find money for astronauts?!
Although I use P2P so rarely that they'd have to be pretty lucky with their timing to scare me, I'm sure that plenty of users could be frightened off the practice by a suitably vague mass mail. Rather than, "We have detected P2P usage", a strongly-hinting "Customers are reminded that..." might be non-accusatory and hand-wavy enough to get away with, while still having the desired effect. Now how much do you think the *AA would pay ISPs to do that?
Sounds OK, from what I've read - thanks for the tip. Do they give you any sort of kickbacks if I say you referred me?
I just got my MAC code from BT, told the very nice lady I wasn't prepared to tolerate this sort of behaviour from an ISP. Of course, I was suddenly entitled to a discount... "No, I won't tolerate it at any price." She didn't even put up a fight though - I wonder how many similar calls she's had today?
BT "customers": The number's 0800 328 6738. Use it.

Sightings? Pshhhhh. Try photos!
Fair point. Let me re-phrase the question: How much do you think the *AA would bribe politicians with to force the ISPs to do that?

"Demiforce" - what a rip-off :(
*Numbers from my arse
Please, this is Slashdot, can't we at least be a bit more scientific about it? Don't say, "From my arse." Say, "derived by rectal extraction."
"Very funny dear, now come upstairs, your dinner's getting cold."

Noise-cancelling headphones, and an air-horn inside the shop, multiplied by the number of teens.

Except I can guarantee that at least one of my clients will cling doggedly to IE6, just to piss me off...

...now that it's "the actual Data visor that someone sued Christies over"? Could the hype around the thing actually make it worth something?
