    Hi

    My thought is block UDP packets from the sender for a coupla hours. Yeah I realise I aint defined the sender, but the stripped away contents should be decipherable as a football match.

    Block the port numbers, EG: 531 for AOL Instant Messenger to start with ;~)

    The sender will transmit on a defined port number, so don't route (or send it to 127.0.0.1).

    I have no interest in football but it makes me want to watch stream it to see what they are doing to block the access.

    Single IP to the server or an IP range or the entire thing which could knock a lot of websites offline also?

    johndough.. Block AOL messenger.. sacrilege? :) eeee I remember when AOL were great and the sun always shined... :)

    Then some stupid company called CPW took over and killed it stone dead.

    Makes two of us, not watching the 5.30 match because I've got the rugby on, but everything was working fine for the early match and the 3.00pm ones.

    Either not effective or not yet applied then. Unless your ISPs weren't part of the trial of course.
