nah, cuz it all goes through the ISP first, so no matter which port in your pc it goes to, it still goes to YOUR pc. the isp will know no matter what.


unless he somehow bounces it to a proxy before it gets to him. but thats way too much work.

Tell them that their request is not acceptable, and that you are well aware of what program is using these resources. Let them know that you will continue using this program as it is essential to your personal correspondences, which require large amounts of data transfer. If they ask for any more details, refuse their request and say that it is private. Then tell them you don't appreciate being harassed about your internet usage, and that if they contact you in the future with such a request, you'll find a different provider which respects its customers privacy.

a buttload of spyware could be making your activity look high.

they didnt say your MB or GB limit was reached, just that your activity is high. spyware that constantly runs and reports via your bandwidth could be the suspect - esp since you just had a virus|

It's most likely adware that uses your computer to send out spam. I got a similar note from my ISP. I just enabled windows firewall(wich restricts in- and outgoing traffic) and i used some anti-virus software to get rid of the virus.

They insist that we reply. Wtf do I do? I dont understand. If you are paying for le intraweb shouldnt you be able to use it? What do i do? I hardly even use filesharing, but I did a bunch when I lost a bunch of crap 3 days ago.

Read your ISP service agreement, you might be surprised what they can do. Consider yourself lucky your not in the US otherwise you could have received an order to show up in court and pay thousands of dollars in fines.

Like someone else said cool it or they could cut your broadband and if you dont have another isp in your area then you'll be shit out of luck with no internet access.
