ntl do have spam filters in place at the moment... but they are still in the process of "learning" what is spam and what isn't. The problem is that ntl can't have any false positives because then there will be unhappy customers who don't receive mail that they want.

ntlworld are an obvious target for spam- over 5million email addresses and most in the form firstname.surname[number] at ntlworld.com...

I have seen a reduction... i have 7 ntlworld accounts forwarded to gmail and i currently average around 200 spams a month in total.
