I prefer to do the filtering myself - its not difficult. The spam filtering applied by ntl is pretty useless - babies and bathwater come to mind. I get them to label suspect mail as [spam?] but forward it to me anyway.. Genuine mail does get mislabelled quite often. My connection is broadband, so the bandwidth doesn't worry me nearly as much as missing emails.
