Ntl don't sell numbers but I will bet theres a register somewhere that shows which number ranges they do have. Theres a web site called
ukphoneinfo.com that tells you which operator has which number etc so If they have the information It must have come from some main source. Probably OSIS.

OSIS, the United Kingdom database of telephone subscribers, managed and maintained by British Telecom plc.
OSIS contains the directory information of UK telephone subscribers - both business and residential - and is updated six times per week. Data is collected from UK network operators and licensed by BT to Simunix for the purpose of providing these services.

OSIS contains 28 million numbers and accepts upto 200000 changes daily so if you're daily or weekly snyc'd to it its out of date the second you sync.
