Everything was fine for me all day.... oh, yeah, that's cause I was at work and we don't use NTL :disturbd:

Its poor here in Oxford too, one minute you can get a page then you can't its exactly the same as it was a few weeks ago but it is only today since the last time it has been perfect.

absolutely pathetic here, again ... i can't believe the problems NTL have been having...

I'm getting a bit annoyed, and I'm not easily annoyed at Internet connection troubles... I wish they'd sort it out though, this is way too common a occurance when paying as much as we do for 10mbit...

Well this is annoying me now. I use MS messenger a LOT in the evenings and it just refuses to connect :( everything else works fine apart from what I want - swap with someone who wants websites working :)

Unreliable, yet again
 
Is anyone else sick to death of this ridiculous poor service that we pay for?? I come back from work today, desperately needing my broadband connection to book flights and arrange a holiday with three other couples on msn to ensure we all agree with the choices of villa etc and what do I find? This must be at least the 15th time in the past few months that I am unable to access certain essential sites? What are they doing and why am I paying £25 a month for it? I fail to understand why they can't be anywhere near as reliable as their competitors. I see people saying there are ways to get around it but I can't get them to work. We get nothing achieved by ringing the technical help that now they have the cheek to charge for and I am now looking for other cable providors of cable broadband with a view to cancelling in the next few days (I'm in the Lower Earley, Reading area if anyone can advise better providors that i can use?)

I needed to get this off my chest and feel (very slightly) better now.

NTL, pull your finger out before you lose even more customers.

That part is working fine for me but websites aren't.

It's strange how we can all reach this forum...

Typical, I wake up this morning to find a shiney new 4meg connection waiting for me, I get home from work to find out its all gone south... Odd that in a time of crisis, this site is one of the 2% that actually works!! Damn you NTL :mad:
