hi Bob, thankyou for ur reply! for some reason (fast.co.uk) do not supply a modem, and i have been assured by them, that they do not shape p2p traffic...

i did alot of research, before i chose my ISP and fast.co.uk came highly recommended... they are not a large ISP provider, but are voted as one of the best!

i am considering purchasing a ethernet router/modem, maybe that will resolve the speed issue with limewire, if that does not work, then i really don't know what could be wrong!

thanxs, for the link, i will def look into, how i can fix limewire, if limewire really is the problem!

In the mean time, would appreciate any more advice, from people who have experienced this similar problem, when changing ISP... THANX
