Looks like the redirector page shows what CDN you get directed to if an ISP redirects traffic to their own servers. If there is no re-routing then I believe you get the lhr07s13 type server/farm but you see your isp's name, obvious the requests go to their own CDN

From Sky connection: x.x.x.x => bskyb-bhx1

From UK VPN IP :lhr14s15

From VPN in NewYork: x.x.x.x => lax04s14 [u]

So if you got different results I would assume that you usually get redirected to sky's cdn but on the odd request you go direct.

Now the [u] part is going to bug me lol
