I think that's a bit unfair, as no-one seems to know what's going on at the moment. Perhaps this can throw some light on things

Looks as if there are a few potential causes on the table...but then at least they look like they're trying to get the bottom of it.

Equally, I would suggest caution in believing everything that an ISP tells you... it wouldn't be the first time that things were being done to the internet connection in a slightly underhand manner.
Not that I am suggesting that this is happening in this case...but there are always two sides to every story...and that thread linked above is quite interesting.
Not that it really affects me, I don't even use ntl's newsgroups anymore let along a third parties (since I died of terminal impatience waiting for 2k of text to download several years ago).
