There is absolutely no doubt that NTL were using SORBS on my incoming mail back in November/December last year. I know this because email started coming through again from a certain ISP immediately that ISP was removed from the SORBS blacklist. They also admitted it in a letter to me (copy on my web site) and said categorically they they would not stop using SORBS.

I can't be certain that they are still using it, or that the blacklist was applied on all NTL incoming mail servers though.

Does anyone know of a free email service that is consistently blacklisted by SORBS so we can test this?

(And yes, it is quite amusing that some of NTL's own outbound email servers are also blacklisted by SORBS. Blacklisted by their own blacklist.)
