I am surprised that you did not get a new modem when you signed up with Fast.co.uk, because most ISPs have a preferred modem/router that they either recommend or supply you with.

I know that AOL prefers BT Voyager Modems, because I have a friend with AOL, and Bulldog likes Thomson SpeedTouch products. Therefore, I have some suggestions:

a) Find out from Fast.co.uk which ASDL Modems or Modem/Routers they would recommend.

b) Ask if they use "Bandwidth Shaping" equipment, i.e. which restricts P2P communication while allowing browser Internet traffic through unhindered.

c) You may want to try the following also:

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
