It would be nice if NTL could set theirs up to be anonymous. Presumably they keep logs anyway so it could help customer security if theu used anon. proxies.

P.S. for anybody using mozilla or firebird, there's an extension that lets you mask the user agent string and give it whatever value you like so your browser and OS can't be extracted.
