TalkTalk is your problem! I believe (unless I'm mistaken) if you use the service over certain hours you won't suffer this problem. Search talktalk on the forum using the search button above.

You will see them mentioned here ISP's known to BLOCK or Filter p2p or specifically Limewire. See the last link in the mention about TalkTalk!!!
