It is quite possible that your ISP is now throttling P2P usage, if you check the current discussion here:

You will find that "P2P throttling" by ISPs is a worldwide problem.
By the way, if you do a "search" in this forum for "Verizon", your ISP, I am sure you will come across other LW user who believe that Verizon is now blocking their P2P usage.
