I dont see how the web proxys affects the games, unless maybe a game needs to display a webpage as part of its interface, (like in gamespy)

If your laggy and jumpy and you are sure its not your end, (tried all the usual CS advice reboot modem / STB etc) You can sometimes still game on dodgy connections by lowering the internet connection setting in whatever game you are using.
Usually from cable (which is actually usually optimised for higher upload b/w than NTL provides) to a setting like 128kbps or even use the 56k dial up settings.
This way even if you are not getting full b/w the game may still chug along happily.
