I have been trying to get an Edimax 7064+A to work on a TalkTalk
broadband line. This all works with the exception that all
attempts to connect to www.hotmail.com or www.hotmail.co.uk return an
error message 408 409 and a message that the site is too
busy to reply. Reverting to the TalkTalk supplied Sagem USB modem
cures the problem. When I try the Edimax on my Plusnet Broadband
line it works perfectly. Any constructive suggestions as to why
would be most welcome. Changing ISP is not an option at this stage.

Parental control / site blocking or filtering on the router perhaps

How would that be possible.? The router settings are unchanged as
was the laptop I used to connect.

Sorry Peter, you are absolutely correct - it would affect both ISP's
then In which case, it is likely to be a DNS problem
While connected to Talk Talk can you do nslookup to
www.hotmail.co.uk and www.hotmail.com and get the IP address

e.g. C:\Documents and Settings\Owner>nslookup
Default Server: resolver1.opendns.com
Address: 208.67.222.222

www.hotmail.co.uk
Server: resolver1.opendns.com
Address: 208.67.222.222

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: hotmail.com
Addresses: 64.4.32.7, 64.4.33.7
Aliases: www.hotmail.co.uk

www.hotmail.com
Server: resolver1.opendns.com
Address: 208.67.222.222

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: www.hotmail.aate.nsatc.net
Address: 216.74.180.189
Aliases: www.hotmail.com, www.hotmail.com.nsatc.net

Alternatively try using OpenDNS DNS servers

Sorry if you've tried all this already

Thanks for those suggestions Nicola. I have tried them and it makes no
difference.

Probably some problem on the routing then
As the other poster has suggested, try a pathping to www.hotmail.com and
www.hotmail.co.uk
I seem to be going via savvis.net & above.net at the mo, but often see
problems if going through Level3

Also, try http://home.live.com
