NTL doesn't seem to block IPSEC traffic (which is a start, not all ISPs are so accommodating).

In the past, I have successfully set up an IPSEC VPN tunnel between here and work (joining my home "network" and office network together), I've also established an L2TP VPN tunnel. Both with very little trouble.

Depending on the type of VPN tunnel you are setting up, the only frustration you may experience is the lack of a static IP address. Having said that, if you leave your router switched on, your IP address is likely to remain static for many months.
