Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)?:
Cableone.

Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there?:
It Didn't Work.

Again please reply.

I suspect that some of the problem might be your ISP. When your test fails, it's a good indication that it may have something to do with the ISP. Also see Link below. You can also give them a call and ask if they Throttle P2P activities. You probably won't get the truth.
