That would be the complete lack of anything useful for blocking spam. I have virgin.net and ntl accounts [both running on ntl equipment]. Both used to get about equal amounts of spam (50 to 75 per day).
About two months ago, virgin implemented their anti-spam measures and now I hardly get one per day on that account. The ntl account still gets 70+ per day. Too compare with other services - I have a hotmail account - that no longer gets spam. I have an Orange account - that gets 40+ a day (yep, they have no clue about spam either).
If, as you have claimed in the past, ntl use anti-spam software then they clearly have it very badly configured. To all intents & purposes it is totally transparent - spam just passes right through it.
