Oh, phorm.com.

Those are IP's that have been passed around in the big phorm thread.

But really, the relevant point is that blocking the phorm.com domain leads me to have no connectivity.

If you're looking at anonymity/getting away from phorm then why the heck are you using ntl name servers ?

Use someone elses and retest - let us know how you get on
No, I haven't.

You have any handy?

As for why, well I didn't think I would need to switch DNS servers in order to avoid phorm.

Okay, I switched to OpenDNS servers and have functionality with phorm.com blocked.

What does this tell us?
