Yeah I find this rediculous. NTL are effecively blocking my right to anonyimity
You can connect to a proxy on other ports, but obviously port 80 is the most common. Considering the explosion in 'cleaning' tools for removing cookies etc; which trace your surfing habits, I'm surprised there haven't been more complaints about this. If people are wanting to stop web sites tracking them - hiding your IP address is a good way to do this, but with the transparent proxies - NTL are forcing your IP to be shown.
Just my 2p.
