It seems to work perfectly for my NTL home broadband connection.

For the NTL corporate connection we have at work, it came up with an IP 
address I can't ping or traceroute, but still one that belongs to NTL 
and isn't a proxy. That IP address had several earlier contributions, 
going back to December 2004 (my company moved to this building in 
November 2004), so blocking it would perhaps create potential for 
collateral damage by excluding the whole company.
