Telewest service sadly, who then merged with ntl to form ntl:telewest.

Im not sure if this will work but i am fed up to my back teeth when it comes to NTL. Please read this document and send it back to me, pass it on to all the people you know with NTL and have them send it back to me.

Its time to stand up for your rights as a consumer. :dozey:

NTL wont sort this issue out unless they see some action for the public.

Re: Major connection issues! 6/6/06
 

God damn them.
If NTL don't sort this out properly and finally very soon, I may have to pay for a BT line and switch to another provider if I can find one with unlimited download limits. :mad:

Re: Major connection issues! 6/6/06
 

Interestingly my connection to the NTL newserver is effected this time round which it wasn't before.

Newsbin says DNS - Unable to find server address.

Luckily NTL is just a filler server.

i'm in Portsmouth area along with a few people i know and we have had it with Ntl aswell... It worked perfectly alright all this morning then all of a sudden comes this afternoon it went cock up and even got completely cut off at one point and took an hour to get back on.

What will that achieve? Are you going to make an online petition (if there isn't already one)?

I'm in Belfast and can't get any large sites (Google, eBay, Feedburner). It's complete **** that they do this pretty much every week for a couple of days. Who says we all write to Watchdog?

EDIT: I'd do it right now, except I can't get to the BBC site *rolls eyes*

Re: [Merged]-Major connection issues!
 

I managed to get it by switching proxies.

Installed it but it's made no difference.

Big Thanks anyway..:tu:

Da1 area is playing up tonight, this web page is taking almost 5mins to load,
Current speed test says

1st 512K took 984 ms = 520.3 KB/sec, approx 4287 Kbps, 4.19 Mbps
2nd 512K took 1000 ms = 512 KB/sec, approx 4219 Kbps, 4.12 Mbps
3rd 512K took 1250 ms = 409.6 KB/sec, approx 3375 Kbps, 3.3 Mbps
4th 512K took 1032 ms = 496.1 KB/sec, approx 4088 Kbps, 3.99 Mbps
Overall Average Speed = approx 3992 Kbps, 3.9 Mbps.
I thinks its about time that Ntl are taken to task over this abysmal service they are supplying.
I for one have had enough, I'm cancelling my direct debit for the up to 10 mb c*** service.

Re: Major connection issues! 6/6/06
 

Today the internet ran fine, no problems most of the day. Around 7-8 the internet started to cut out, Google loads but can't do any searches, can't visit GMail, yahoo very slow and the images don't load, MSN messenger fails to login.

NTL really do need to fix these problems, with the poor connectivity I can see some people moveing to BT.

Re: Major connection issues! 6/6/06
 

If there is where is it?

All i am doing is using a petition from within here and on MSN list to build up a number to slap in the face of their CEO. Ive had words with the CEO before about NTL issues, if you dont want to sign it dont, but its not going to do you any harm to sign it. Least i am actually trying to get NTL to face up to their contract.

Its worth a Shot............:monkey:

Other sites here dont work very well like not loading the style sheets.
