ntl uses proxies, simple as that and so does Telewest and others already mentioned.

And, as has been said before, over and over and over again, the technology for reading the client IP address is there, it takes a couple of lines of code in the web traffic server log script to record it. If Burst, and other networks can't tell the difference between a client and forwarding IP address, then they accept that they will get complaints from their users.

Whether ntl choses to drop proxies in the future is something of a hot potato, who knows, somebody involved with that side of the network may be reading these posts, and asking the same question - Are they really needed now?
