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.
And I would agree with every word .... I get more spam through NTL than any other email account I have.
