That would be legally dubious of NTL. P2P is not illegal, so they couldn't justify blocking it without contacting customers to let them know about it.

I have to say I'm a little sceptical that NTL would do this, or that one of their first-line support team would be the one to announce it to the world. Can you give any more info about how this conversation happened?

Are there any staffers around that can shed any light on this?
