Funny how when you call NTL they cant have a message on the CS number to tell you the problems. Was waiting nearly an hour for the guy to see, yes we know thank you!!

AGH, I HATE NTL :mad: :grind:

Why is it that nothing they "resolve" actually ever stays resolved?! :rolleyes: :afire:

No DNS again! This is pathetic. Hardly any websites seem to work. POP3 doesn't work. Webmail doesn't work. Nothing works!

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley

I suspect the DNS isn't entirely the problem - I've added the DNS servers shown in this thread, and it still doesnt work!

However I'm now using a proxy server in the US somewhere and low an behold I can browse. :grind:

My guess is the transparent proxies NEED NTLs DNS to be working, so it doesn't matter what DNS you have set on your own PC.

Can anyone confirm this?

Lee - Agh, I wouldn't be surprised if the inktomis are buggered too :(
