Well, my definition of a "reliable and stable email platform" would be one that successfully delivers all my mail to me - that is, all mail destined to my address. If messages are dropped, for whatever reason, then it's not doing its job.
If ntl's servers and pipes cannot cope with the volume of mail they are receiving, they need to be upgraded. If users want filtering, they can install their own solution - or, if they prefer to be spoonfed, they can pay someone else to do it for them. To be honest, I find it hard to believe that anyone would want someone else to decide which of their emails they can and cannot read. The only people I can imagine supporting the idea of ISP mail filtering are those who believe that mail filters are "magical" and never make a wrong decision.
