Clearwire -> DSL (which one???)

    I made the mistake and chose Clearwire to avoid paying for an Eircom landline. Eejit :)
    Clearwire, as discussed in other threads, blocks P2P completely by killing the traffic on P2P services + also seems to be blocking Skype, although Customer Service claim they are only "remodelling the ports", or something.
    Thank God i'm still within the "cooling off" period and my eircom switchboard is DSL enabled.
    So, my question to you, good people, what is the best DSL broadband (1mbps is enough) that does not block P2P and VoIp.
    Please hurry up with your answers, 'cause i've only 2 days left to cancle Clearwire withou paying the fee.

    Smart if you can get it, or IOL or Eircom.

    AFAIK Clearwire and Digiweb are the only providers who block stuff.

    i've decided to go with BT Broadband (is this the same thing as IOL?). 40 quid for bb and line rental (Clearwire charge you the same for ****ty bb without P2P).
    Anyone warn me now, before it's too late

    bt is a pretty safe bet from the sounds of other ppl, the only thing to watch out for is your bills, their billing dept. is notoriously bad...
