Tiscali P2P Update & Mac Code: Sony PS3, Error 33 on Call of Duty 4 (COD4)

This is an update to the news the other day about Tiscali’s P2P problems and how they stop Sony PS3 gamers getting on Call of Duty 4 in evenings. We had over 8000 page views to that story and many comments.

After trying to get online gaming in COD4 the other day again and taking over 2 hours until around 10pm when I got in, I thought, “enough is enough”.

I had a read through the 41+ pages in the Tiscali forum again and could see know one was getting anywhere and in fact many were moving to another broadband provider.

So I phoned Tiscali and got my Mac Code, I am now due to be connected to BT on the 14th of January. It looks like Tiscali’s lack of customer support has made many users switch to another provider that can connect them to online games and does not block it.

It also looks like Tiscali and other companies owned by them (like Pipex) are blocking all games systems and PC’s that use P2P for finding games.

Looking forward to seeing the end of Error 33 on Call of Duty 4 and being able to play online games when I want…not when Tiscali say you can.
