NTL's internet service has proxies built in and you are forced to use them. I'm not sure that setting one up on your own LAN (presumably that's what you mean?) would make any difference. If your own proxy server had to go out looking for a page it would be forced to use an NTL proxy. The NTL proxy would presumably pick up the IP address assigned to your cable modem, and as NTL's proxies are set up properly, they can pass on the true IP address of the customer making the page request. Which is why I can see the IP you're using right now.
Someone correct me if this is all cockeyed ....
