yes, it is 'background' network traffic, nothing to worry about - however, if you start uploading without permission, then that is a problem & the main reason some people run a software firewall to complement the hardware NAT function of the router

Sorry about my ignorance but could you please put that in a bit of layman terms. Uploading, do you mean 'transmit' data to NTL servers or 'receive' ?
How do you overcome the software firewall ? What it NAT?
Upload is to transmit from your computer to another machine, download is to receive data (in laymans terms lol).
NAT is a kind of hardware firewall built into a router normally.
As to overcoming the software firewall, you don't need to, it's there doing it's job.
