10.x.x.x addresses are private network addresses - they don't exist on the "proper" internet.

On the NTL network I think SACM's have both a private and public IP address allocated, not sure how STB BB works but I would guess something similar.

If you do a tracert to somewhere (like ntl.com) you will normally see the gateway for your connections private address as the first or second hop (depending on what set-up you have at home).

Hope this hasn't confused you - I don't think I'm explaining it very well as my brain is on strike tonight.
