Default My ISP limits bandwidth on Limewire

My ISP limits my bandwidth on Limewire. How do i get around it where they do not know that i am using a P2P so that my speed can increase?

Your questions are simple and straight forward:

Basically, you can't because your ISP has installed equipment that specifically looks for P2P traffic.

All ISPs automatically monitor their customers network usage, so there is no way they will not know what you are doing and, if the authorities want it, provide a log of the times, dates, web-sites visited and/or amounts uploaded or downloaded.

You should remember that your ISP is a computerised organisation where everything is automatically recorded and checked then, if something out of the ordinary pops up, is flagged for human inspection.

So, unless you have a bunch of sophisticated computers to hand or are a computer genius then the only choice you really have to to find another ISP that does not have an anti-P2P policy. However, that is becoming increasingly hard to find because ISPs the world over seem to be installing anti-P2P equipment.
