All is well in G73 area of Glasgow. Full access to Google, Gmail and BBC and other sites that I couldn't access before. :)

Better this morning, but USA bandwidth seems awful through the proxies (ok on NNTP) - but then I guess I should be used to that :(

I wonder if they'll own up to the reason...

Most things working again now, but ebay still goosed.

Works fine using the proxy given on page 4 or 5 of this thread. NTL site states that the problem is still ongoing as of 1.21am....

I seem to be ok now... msn, google, bbc, ebay etc. all good. I don't want to go through that again, not while I've got listings anyway!? :eh:

Had loads of problems last night. I was in the middle of downloading and my connection droped. I rang tech support and reached India again, I said my connection is having problems geting connected.

He then told to type in some command in Command prompt, It was somthing like *Winsck clear* or somthing. Did that, Solved the problem.

Then the next day my connection went down yet again, I rang tech support again and got to India again, They said there was problems in the Nottingham area and wont be solved for another week. WTH a week? My dad rang about a refund on time etc and asked why it was down in the first place. A nice helpful indian women said there wasn't any problems in my area and it was my cable modem and booked an engineer.

The engineer is coming this afternoon, Finaly my problems with packet loss / droped connections might be solved today! YAY!

Wish me luck ha!

Good news! The engineer has just been and updated my NTL 100 modem to a nice new shiny blue one!

And everything is working again and everything is much faster!

Good job NTL..

For once.. OO and they came in a telewest van :P

erm... why is there no mention of this on the service status page. As a Nottingham customer I am not happy :mad:

That's it - BT, here I come (and not a moment too soon)
