By my understanding, it says which town and city you are from. Does it also tell which street connection you are on also?
Nope, nor does it necessarily say town and city, those details are just the location of the router at ntl and the location of the server that customer takes their IP address from.

The actual format is cpcX-ubrX-cardX-downstreamX-nearesthubsite.cable.ntl.com

Most don't even have the card and downstream information anymore now that a large block of IPs are bundled together on the routers, and just have 0 where the card and downstream number were.
