I have now checked, and using this screensaver would seem to violate Section 4 of the Acceptable Use Policy..

4. Unacceptable Behaviour

Nobody may use the Service, either directly or indirectly:

1. to threaten, harass or cause distress, annoyance or discomfort to any other person or entity;
2. to intentionally disrupt or adversely affect any other person or entity's access to or use of the Internet or any features which form part of the Internet;
3. to transmit or cause to be transmitted any advertising, promotional or other materials that are unsolicited (commonly known as "spam");
4. to transmit or cause to be transmitted mail bombs, chain letters or pyramid schemes

Note, I am not saying it is wrong to use this screensaver, just that if NTL find out you are doing it, they would have every right to terminate your connection.
