Re: Easynews tells us to 'bug' NTL Tech Support
 

Cogent link should be fixed in the next few days according to Cogent, see my 'Letter to Cogent thread'

Another message has gone up in the Easynews forum urging NTL members to continue to bug NTL as they aren't doing anything about it - what a surprise.

Sept 14th, 3:20pm PDT:

NTL seems to be having some problems with their transparent
proxy/cache servers that is preventing access to our members area.

To bypass their proxy servers, use the following url:

http://members.easynews.com:81/

SSL might work also,

https://secure.members.easynews.com/

or SSL on port 81

https://secure.members.easynews.com:81/

If you are an NTL customer, please continue to call them and ask them to
fix this issue as it has been an ongoing problem for two days.

I am not sure if easynews is linked to the cogent issue my trace to members.easynews.com goes over level3 but its possible their bulk traffic stuff is routed over cogent since its cheaper.

If its directly linked to the proxies which it may well be then easynews has a long fight on their hands as that is something ntl are very stubborn on.

The Cogent and Easynews issues are separate.
