There are a number of things that you can do yourself to combat spam; i only receive about 1-2 spam messages per week so i don't think the problem lies entirely with ntl.
The first thing that i suggest is to download a programme such as mailwasher, which will filter the spam on your pc, so you won't have to go through all of it to find the genuine messages.
The other thing is that if i a piece of spam contains an 'unsubscribe' link DO NOT use this! it just validates your address for the spammer, and will lead to just more spam!
No matter, how much we rant and rave, when ntl want to implement spam/ virus filtering they will, and before that, they wont!
for advice on dealing with spam at your end, see the post
