Yes traffic over the NTL subnet of the internet will all whizz around missing thier proxys as internal traffic.
If NTL switch their proxies off then every request to sites hosted on Thus, Tiscali, Telewest and all other external subnets will go to those subnets and none of the traffic will be caught by proxies. A resultant increase in traffic for the other sites.
If all ISPs switched off their proxies, then all traffic from say Blueyonder or Demon to NTL hosted sites would be directed to the server not a proxy, resulting in an increase in traffic on NTLs subnet.
