This is the major point. If you are considering to share your bandwidth with a neighbour, whether it is wired or wireless, the public IP address is assigned to the account holder, the ntl customer. If for any reason the neighbour is doing something they shouldn't, knowingly or unknowingly, then its the account holder who will fall fowl of ntl's abuse team.

It's a very noble gesture in my opinion, but as GeoffW says, complicated if you had to stop it.
