I have looked into this issue quite extensively of late. It would apear that pretty soon all ISPs in United Kingdom will be joining on the Bandwidth shaping band wagon.
I had a very interesting call with OFCOM yesterday about it and they basically said that ISPs are within their rights to restrict the flow of bandwidth to its users at any time of day.
This is getting beyond a joke to be honest. This to me is not slowing my access down it is a blatant restriction on the flow of information. This throttling is not just affecting EvE it is affecting everything. It took me 10mins to open my email yesterday.
My ISP is Virgin media and I get exactly the same problem. I can connect to eve but it is lag city until 12midnight. I am currently investigating any and all ISP in UK to find out if they all do this.
I paid for the ultimate service, ie. No bandwidth restrictions and here I am connected to a 56k modem with a hefty price tag.
I will hopefully be able to draw up a list f ISPs that shape their bandwidth. I personally see a mass exodus from tiscali and others.
Oh by the way, OFCOM said they can't look into a singular complaint. So band together intyweb peeps and hopefully we can get this sorted.
edit: If you need to compare ISPs then here is an interesting site to look at... http://www.dslzoneuk.net/

Another solution that works for me its also FREE:
goto http://www.http-tunnel.com/html/ and download the program
install and run
goto settings > configure firewall
select auto detect and check the box "allow up to two ips to connect to http-tunnel
now click test if all is good....
goto setting > add ports/applications
type in ip: 87.237.38.200
application port: 26000
pay attention to the local port it assigns (26000 for me)
hit add and then ok.
Now open eves prefs.ini and change the line networkAdvanced=0 to networkAdvanced=1
Run eve and change tranquility to 127.0.0.1 by typing it in.
Change port to the local port specified earlier
now enter... it may take soem time to get past aquiring bulk data, but it did work for me eventually. I am online now at 16:11 so it appears to be working.
I dont have the tiscali problem, but i do have a proxy at work, and cant connect due to it. This method worked for me, although as i write this, im still at aquiring bulk data....this is still way further then ever could get before.
the method in the OP did not work for me, as openvpn will not install on vista...at least the 64-bit vista i am running.

I'm also a Tiscali sufferer.
Perhaps you should create a petition at http://petitions.pm.gov.uk to indicate to the powers that by the scale of this problem.

Thank you - it worked perfectly for me. The free vesrion was too slow, so I registered. I am not even in the UK, but the traffic from my ISP is routed through Tiscali. I was on my way to quit eve as my connection was dropping out of the blue and no solution in sight...

N4PALMS's solution worked for me and some others currently at a lanparty. It's slow but at least we can manage our businesses.

This bit you now have to do in the short-cut. So find the Eve icon in your start menu, right-click on the icon, preferences and in the taget box mut this:
"C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE\eve.exe" /end /server:127.0.0.1:26000
I'm guessing you put your port on the end of that... mine was 26000.
Sadly I've not got this working. In the http log it says:
[InetEx2: The parameter is incorrect.||] Server: ;ServerNum: 0.
Please de-alphabetise local! Sort it by time spent in local. I don't want to be at the top of local anymore. Ta!

If you want to pursue the traffic shaping issue with Ofcom I will gladly put my name to it as well. I'm a Tiscali customer not Virgin though. UK based ISPs seem determined to limit internet use to web browsing by any means neccessary. I'm wondering if BBC's watchdog program would be interested in this. Googling for port throttling lead me to a reference to them tackling BT over this a while back and BT recinded the policy before the program aired.
My current strategy is to spend any time I would be spending playing eve flaming Tiscali on whatever ISP ratings sites I can find. Others should do the same. CCP might want to beat on the ISPs a bit harders too, as I know of at least one person who I got to try the trial who is now unlikely to subscribe because he cant connect at peak times due to this issue.
The option of changing ISP is not available to me currently, so I may have to pay for a proxy service.

The N4PALM tunnel worked for me, after I got the info about the shortcut alteration. It's slow as crap, may be faster if I register next month, but I can change my skills and that is what matters.

I may have ISK-payable alternative, that should also be faster. Check http://eve.75.pl/ and contact me in-game if you want to try it. :)
