I suspect your ISP as well, but the thing that throws me abit is what you said above about the ISP tech using Limewire with no problems.

Maybe I am just naive in thinking that your ISP wouldn't flat out lie to you. I must admit that the more this thread goes on, the more I think that's the case here, because you seem to know your way around a computer.

There is one more thing to consider here. Before Limewire stopped working, were you by any chance doing some heavy down/uploading, or what your ISP might consider heavy. ISP's have no problem blocking single users for what they see as extensive use. Some also concentrate more on uploading than downloading, so if you were sharing at full speed 24/7 then that might just be the case.
