It's not the line, it's the fact that your IP address is not in one of the ntl ranges.
Most ISPs restrict FTP access this way to prevent abuse.. otherwise e.g. some porn site owner could sign up for a bunch of PAYG internet accounts using fake details to store dodgy pictures for free. Would also stop customers 'renting' space for similar purposes.
