Sorry, but Talk Talk customers have a lot of problems. Have a look at these threads below. If you use the forum search to look for Talk Talk, you'll probably find more threads;)

Is that it then, TalkTalk

ISP's known to BLOCK or Filter p2p or specifically Limewire

1-3k downloads

ISPs that throttle p2p - The Scream!

You could try changing ports but there's no guarantee that it's going to help you. In LW tools > options > advanced > firewall config. Change LW's listening port to 64049 (or something in the range of 49152 - 65535) > Apply > ok.
