Just phoned sky and they said they block the following ports:-

80
25
8080
312

So I guess that means no Webserver,Mailserver, FTPServer

Does that mean there's no limitations on file sharing ?

Their fair use policy is (sort of) here>>> http://www.sky.com/skycom/article/0,,15410-1230305,00.html

Seems no obvious restrictions on p2p, but to be honest we wont really know for sure until the service goes live AND they have a decent user base thats putting pressure on their network.

I cannot get it for about another 6 months which suits me fine as I think by 6 months I'll know whether it's really as good as it looks on paper.
