Default VZW and IRC problems

Please Login to Remove!

Hey guys....I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I bought my 8330 back in September 2008 and being an IRC junkie immediately installed jmirc. These days I really only connect to Efnet. Up until December/January I had no problems whatsoever. Since January, I can not connect to ANY Efnet servers at all! I constantly get visitors to #blackberry on Efnet who are experiencing the same situation with Verizon service. AT&T and Tmobile customers are having no problems at all connecting via jmirc. I haven't had any conversations with Sprint customers so I just don't know.

This really bugs me - especially because I can totally see Verizon blocking this intentionally, however, it doesn't seem to be the case because I can connect to other networks (Freenode, for example).

Does anyone here connect to Efnet servers with their BlackBerry via jMirc with Verizon service? I would love some guidance on this...
