Sorry just edited this message they have an identical ip all four parts are the same, surely if they are on the same proxy server, they would still have something identifying them? |
Every cable modem connection has it's own different IP address.
But also, ntl use "transparent web proxies" on their service. Some websites will record the IP of the web proxy server someone is using, rather than their actual IP address.
So, depending on what format the IP you've noticed takes, it could be that it's the same person as they have the same IP, or it could potentially be different people, who happen to be on the same proxy.
If you do a reverse DNS on the IP address, what does it come out like? Don't post the whole thing, btw.
See here for what normal IPs are like:
