Unless you recently added the proxy it should be working exactly as it
was before the ISP change.

Do you have any more details on this that might give us a better idea of
your situation and problem?
Which version of squid?
Are your users configured to explicitly use the proxy?
... or transparently intercepted?
Are you sure the IM are even using the proxy? most actually don't
without going to some trouble to make them.

Thanks
