as far as snooping on clients it is not direct but yes if any external agencies required records it will be there (since all proxy servers hold logs ) hence this might be a future requirement for all ISP's and if it is their first attempt they havent done a good job at it .

Not all proxies will log requests. Squid can be configured not to log requests, and I'm sure that Inktomi can be configured in a similar way. NTL have been running their transparent caches for at least the last six years or so that I'm aware of, quite possibly longer again, long before the debate came about of ISP's having to log their customers traffic. In any case, as has been mentioned previously, all you need to do is manually configure a proxy in your browser that's located away from NTL's network to bypass NTL's own proxies.
Good luck on bulldog, I'm happy as a pig in s**t with my cable broadband :-)
