that looks a bit out of whack

Possibly, but it returned to normal the hop after, so its not affecting traffic _through_ that router. Wouldn't be particularly worried. tele-ic-2 is a big fat router, and often refuses to respond to pings, even though traffic going through it is fine - all hell would break loose if it wasn't, as that and ic-1 are probably the two most-used routes on the network when going to uk-based sites.
If you had packet loss being caused by your local HFC network, you'd see it on the 10.x.x.x address.
I suspect two separate issues here, one of which probably isn't an issue. Tracerouting stuff only helps layer 3 (IP). The ready light going off (especially in relations to problems with DTV) is a local HFC problem, and as is said above appears to have been fixed now.
Wouldn't be surprised at all if there was some sort of firework damage to things - I know in Newport fireworks have been fired ACROSS busy streets, its quite possible that one could have hit an ntl box the opposite side...
