Get on to the following website and set a proxy on your browser
To set a proxy , open internet explorer > Tools > Internet options > Connections > LAN settings > Clikc on Use a proxy server address for my LAN , put down the address and specify port no as 8080 .
Try out the proxies for Cosham , Swansea , Guilford etc .

Unfortunately this really isn't a 100% solution, although in some cases may help ... I tried it last night, and I still could not browse to a majority of sites unreliably.

I think the reason being, NTL's caches still use their own DNS servers, so if they haven't cached the DNS, browsing through a proxy you're still stuck!.....
