I had no Proxy server set in my IE Internet options and when i looked at http://www.broadband-help.com/cm_diagnose.asp?init=1 it said the following..

Proxied HTTP? No
Proxy IP n/a
Proxy Name(Raw)
Proxy Name(R-DNS) No DNS Entry

I then changed it to cache4-brtn.server.ntli.net (8080) and all my issues have went away. Now this has been happeneing on and off for a couple of weeks at least, resets of the box had NO effect, and in the last couple of days it has got worse (which is why i have been digging into it).

I now get..

Proxied HTTP? Yes
Proxy IP 80.3.64.7 [WHOIS]
Proxy Name(Raw) HTTP/1.0 ntl_site[50034007] (Traffic-Server/5.2.4-59139 [uSc ])
Proxy Name(R-DNS) cache4-brtn.server.ntli.net

But what was causing my original problems?

Any ideas?
probably the proxy that you were going through before you specified one. Some of them are transparent so won't always show up when you test for them. Sometimes they show from the test on www.all-nettools.com.

if you find out which proxy you were routed to by default, please post here.
