Ok, that done I get:

You do not appear to be on a Virgin Media Connection
Your IP address is 192.168.1.XXX
Your Proxy IP address is 82.XXX.193.XXX
This is not a known Virgin Media Proxy Server

Which is the same as the results I get from hostip and any other number of services;
IP address: 82.XXX.193.XXX
Location: Norwich, UNITED KINGDOM

Now this is (I believe) my IP address and has been since I got broadband.

What confuses me is why this website claims it is not a known Virgin Media Connection?
especially when my reverse dns is clearly an ntl connection based in Norwich "cpcX-norwX-X-X-custXXX.XXXX.cable.ntl.com."

IP address edited out for obvious reasons.
