Topic for discussion: What can/do NTL know about you?

I was talking to someone with a STB broadband set up, and he told me that in one conversation with NTL customer/technical services they were able to tell him the make of his router and the number of computers behind it.

Given what I know about routers I found this a little hard to believe. I remember people saying in discussions about the 3 computer rule that they couldn't know that.
