Hehe, most of my friends (much like me), are broadband noobs. Laugh at us - we are in New Zealand, where broadband is pretty much like cavemen seeing cars for the first time lol.
Anyhow, after 6 minutes of waiting, a 'customer representative' told me it must be because of limewire itself - but I don't get it - limewire was just fine last month, and it hasnt been touched until yesterday???
