This address is the NTL head-end, the cable modem termination system (CMTS) or UBR. The blocking of traceroute requests will not be an issue contributing to your performance question. However, it might indicate that you are running a firewall application which is too tightly configured.

The most likely cause of your problems loading web pages is a temporarily misbehaving NTL transparent web proxy cache, unless you are also having performance problems with non-web protocols such as FTP.
