Hmmm,

In theory if the DHCP server from NTL has changed address and it tries to issue another address you should not be able to peruse the web, however, both would have to be true for this to happen.

Make sure the IP that you are trying to DHCP from, is an IP of an NTL server. If so allow the DHCP, although if the NTL gurus out there can confirm or deny I would not have thought for this exact reason, that there are not many DHCP servers that are accessible by you or the DHCP servers do not change IP addresses very often,

As long as your IP is valid for you it should not affect browsing speeds, if the IP is not valid for you you should not be able to browse ( this, to be fair should not happen anyway ).
