It's also worth noting that NTL proxies are
semi-open. When I was on
NTL, I could make use of any other NTL proxy, not only the 4 allocated
to my town. I'm guessing this is the case for all NTL users.
This is the case. It's not *widely* known, but NTL users get to hear about
it 'cos NTL's proxies, being NTL, are crap. So any NTL user could appear to
be coming from anywhere in the UK.
