I'm pretty sure the uBR is a local thing, that your local fibre connects to, don't see how this can be changed. Other things can be changed such as web proxy DHCP server etc.
My uBR is just an Ip address, no name
Code:
Tracing route to www.ntlworld.com [62.253.162.30]
over a maximum of 30 hops:
1 350 ms 498 ms 643 ms my-uBR [10.150.71.254]
2 116 ms 604 ms 455 ms oxfd-t2cam1-a-ge95.inet.ntl.com [213.106.246.13]
3 336 ms 427 ms 250 ms oxfd-t2cam1-b-v99.inet.ntl.com [213.106.247.10]
4 402 ms 251 ms 632 ms oxfd-t2core-b-ge-wan61.inet.ntl.com [213.106.245.165]
5 401 ms 467 ms 248 ms bre-bb-b-so-700-0.inet.ntl.com [62.253.187.13]
6 340 ms 289 ms 406 ms win-bb-a-so-400-0.inet.ntl.com [213.105.172.233]
7 317 ms 449 ms 245 ms win-dc-a-v900.inet.ntl.com [62.253.188.162]
8 384 ms 227 ms 212 ms www.ntlworld.com [62.253.162.30]
What you are connected to is given by the name of your Ip address, ie my (munged) is
cpc1-oxfd4-3-0-custxx.oxfd.cable.ntl.com
which I'm sure an ntl tech could decode to the location
NB they should boost the signal at the cabinet then fit a Forward Pass Attenuator, so only the downstream is attenuated, not your return path.
