This is a little off-topic, but you really should
get yourself a new ISP. Suspend first, notify later is
a really crappy policy.
Unfortunately, it is pretty standard in .uk - there is
a precident that even leaving *news items* on your news
spooler that someone has sent a legal notification in on
(for libel in this case) that weren't even posted from your
isp is grounds for the complainant to sue the *ISP* for
bignums (presumably on the basis that many offenders are
either untracable or judgement-proof).
There was a reasonably recent case where an online
newsletter website was shut down - and in order to get
it back the content providers were told they needed a signed
statement from their lawyer that no postings libelous to
the complainant would ever be posted (note, there *had* been
no such postings to date, the complainant sent in a nasty-gram
on the basis they *might* write something he didn't like in the
future.
Add this to the RIP bill and BT's heel-dragging over Flatrate,
and you don't have to wonder why England isn't going to be the
"ideal home for ecommerce" the government used as an election
