IIRC, the DNS servers are provided for you when you get an IP from the DHCP server so entering a different proxy will do nothing.
The only reliable method to bypass the NTL DNS is to run your own DNS server which directly queries the root servers and specify that server in your network settings for DNS, instead of "automatically assigned".

I did exactly that. When it got really bad, I switched to a friend's DNS in Europe and viola! lightning fast connection to the World Wide Web.
It has saved my connection now more times than I can remember.
My Network Places-->Properties-->Local AreaConnection-->Properties-->
TCP/IP-->
and tick "use the following DNS server addresses" and put the DNS in there.
