I personally stopped using GO a long time ago, and can proudly say that my house has NONE of GO's services... not even a fixed line.
Melita does not have this problem. Yet. Remember that by blocking trackers and bittorrent, they're not just bowing the IP holders, but more importantly for them they're hugely reducing the amount of bandwidth they need. I can't test this at home, because I'm on Melita, however... Does GO have domains to point to its DNS servers, or just as IP? In the latter case you could modify your local hosts file to make the domain resolve to Google's DNS servers, or OpenDNS or something similar.
