It is not all that strange, really. There are effectively three parts of NTL:Telewest, the largest whole part was the Telewest area, then the Langley NTL area and finaly the smallest part was the Bromley NTL area (your part that had the renumbering last night).

It makes perfect sense to base the renumbering on the scheme already used by the majority of customers (Telewest). The scheme is also similar to that used by the second largest group of customers (Langley - 101 for BBC1, etc.). Unfortunately, you are in the minority (Bromley) so it was never going to match your old scheme.
