Hi,
Can't connect to LimeWire or any P2P program before midnight at least.
Does anyone know of a way to get around Pipex/Homecall/Tiscali's
throttling/traffic management practice. Sorry for being blunt, but I've spent a month arguing with their tech support robots and I reckon I've bought a pig in a poke.

Many people have the same trouble as you. Perhaps this will help?
