The DNS entries downquark gave (I believe EasyNet's) do work, however I also needed a proxy set up to be able to browse anywhere other than NTL.
For certain obvious legal reasons I am not going to list the proxy i am currently using. (I regularly update a list of usable ones into MYIE2) Anybody that can get to a search engine (google=216.239.41.99) aught to be able to search for free web proxy lists and take their pick.
That will get you more browsing functionality. Do however change back to normal settings when the current crisis is over.
NTL Hub = winnersh, DNS = EasyNet, Proxy = my-gob-is-shut
All net access working :-) even the NTL email.
