There are always ways to get past port blocking. bittorrent can just be used on any unblocked port you want. so NTL will have to block every port to block bittorrent, which they wont do and is not feasable to do. and as bittorrent seems like the next big p2p thing, such as exeem then port blocking is not going to do much.
Sorry to burst your bubble but the majority of customers don't actually give a monkeys about current or future usage limits.

Sorry again to burst your bubble but port blocking is irrelevant to modern peer to peer management, I suggest you google "deep packet inspection".
