Your ISP don't need to block you from using this site, they'll just cancel your account so you'll have to find a new ISP.
They don't like having users of their service abusing other websites because networks can ban entire IP blocks, and say anybody on Freeserve or BT Internet servers won't have access to certain sites. (Red Hot Ant had that problem a few years ago)
Instead, they'll just get rid of you.
Oh, and if you're on a subscription service they won't refund your money!

Despite what you hear, ISP keep logs of everything ... and can in fact trace you.
When you signed up to your particular ISP ... for exampel Freeserve, they have your name, address, as well as details of which phone line and number you are connecting to their system from. Even if you put down false details when you sign up, every time you connect, they record the phone line which made the connection, and can easily obtain your real details from BT, if they need to.
As for IP's, yes they do change, but a log is usually also kept of which IP address a particular user had at a particular time. So if your Freeserve username was 'whatever.freesere.co.uk' (or something similar), then when you connect, and are allocated an IP address, Freeserve will store it as someting like:
User whatever.freesere.co.uk was given the IP address 127.02.02.12 to use at 5:42pm, and was online for 38 minutes. In that time, the user logged onto www.freeola.com, ukchatforums.com, another.com, something.com, etc.
So, should SR complain to the relevent people about abuse from for example me, they could take down the IP addresses I connected with, submit them to the official people, and have them locate who indeed was allocated those IP's at any time .... therefore, they would get the data back that I was using Pipex, they would contact Pipex, who would see who was using the reported IP addresses at the time ... and find it was infact me.
The Internet is not as anonymas (sp) as you would like to think :)

Dont mean to be rude brio but how could an ISP block a person from using a certain site. The i.p changes each time and how could this company find out his Internet service provider for the internet.

And they could block you from using the site.
