assuming it's simply shaped by port and that voip has a high priority then (if) you could reassign your P2P or whatever to the same port as used by VOIP, you might get round it.
but if you look at plusnet (I think) they also shape by limiting you to a certain amount of gb per month during peak hours, after which for the rest of the month your speed is lowered massively. perhaps that's what NTL plan.

Broadband Plus
Perfect for surfing, email, chatting and shopping - not file-sharing and large downloads.
There is no usage cap, however the product is designed for up to 3GB usage each month at 4pm-Midnight. Once your usage exceeds the product design, your downloads and surfing will get progressively slower until the start of your next billing month when your usage is reset.
3GB per month at peak times is more than enough for most Broadband Plus customers
