I know this wouldn't be expected of everyone with a mail account with NTL, but shouldn't the users be a lot more aware about where to use their email addys (Or to the point, When NOT to use them).

I use a hotmail account for things like signing up for forums and only give out my NTL addy to friends, family and the like and I've never had any spam in it (Other than the NTL Insider thingy!).

Again, this can't be expected for all, or even the majority of users but people don't knowingly give their home address to companies that are going to bombard them with a lot of bo***cks, should an email address be treated with less confidence??
