IOL refuse to reenable pings for gaming

Off the phone to Esat, they cannot/will not/refuse to re-enable pinging. At least for me anyways! :( Not fair! I thought they'd indivdually enable it for you if you so wished? Are they required by law to? Fingers crossed!

Yes, but they can be just as inconvenienced without inconveniencing anyone else. Rather than blocking all ICMP traffic they could only block ICMP packets to broadcast addresses and packets that have spoofed source addresses

So far i havent seen one thing that really onconveniences people.
Ok u wont be able to see on your traceroute where ur pinging badly but you wouldnt be able to do anything about it anyway.

Isn't there a way to do a traceroute without using ICMP?

I agree with you tho i dont think they should have it disabled. Would annoy me.
