Yup, it's their problem. It'll be a stuffed proxy. The one that is assigned automatically is broken. As you say, manually specifying a different one resolves the problem. It's a relatively commonplace NTL fault in my experience.

By the way, it's not worth trying to report it to NTL - they don't appear to be able to easily tell if a proxy is misbehaving. It's better to ensure that you have a list of their proxy IP addresses to hand so that you can specify a different one when you get a problem.
