Yes such action should have been considered a long time ago, by many ISPs not just ntl when the blaster type virus became so rampant. Lets see whether this gives us a speed increas by getting rid of all that useless traffic.
But for those users who do have a legitimate use of port 135, will they have any ability to get ntl not to cut it off for them only?

Hmm ...

This is unlikely. Blocking Port 135 will have absolutely no effect on any offline programs (eg word, windows, printers etc) and will only affect the spread of viruses across the Internet. If, however, the you feel sure a problem is due to the blocking of Port 135, please call ntl: home technical support who will be able to confirm whether or not this is the case.

So...
Customer: errr, hi, I can't access my Exchange server and I think your blocking of port 135 is to blame.
tech: Yes sir, I can confirm that that is the case.
Customer: So, um, what can you do about it?
tech: I can confirm that's the case but that's about it....
Or are any techs about that can say they have been advised otherwise? Because Ashg's FAQs sound extremely unco-operative.
