Why did you run the port scan in the first place? Looking for ways of getting revenge for being "unfairly" kicked from the server? I can't see any other reason for doing the port scan.
To be honest I don't think NTL will do anything about it. A server I play on in the US had 2-3 months of regular DDos attacks on it from a Telewest user courtesy of a botnet, he was getting revenge for being banned from the server. Anyhow, the attack cost the company, which had given us free bandwidth and server use for over 6 years, $30,000+. The matter is still under investigation but from what I've heard Telewest arn't exactly being co-operative.
It seems ISP's don't take their responsibilities to the internet seriously.
