Basically the Proxies were a compulsory gateway (no easy way around) to the WWW which minimizes the flow of WWW traffic outside of the NTL Network by caching the files required on servers internal to the NTL network. Anyway they're getting rid of them and so far I've noticed a definite increase in browsing speed and responsiveness. You can tell if you are currently proxied by the "Connection" link at the top of the page.
