north manc
 

just out of interest anyone else having to specify caches in the north west

Re: north manc
 

I was last night for about an hour, even then it was dead slow, but then suddenly it went ok again.

Re: north manc
 

Can you get www.ntlworld.com without a proxy specified

As i can not get it without specifying a proxy

Re: north manc
 

Loads fine here with auto obtain selected, however I did have to use my Zen dial up account to update my AV deffiles earlier today after trying for almost 2 days on Ntl BB, suspect Ntl DNS very slow to update.

Re: north manc
 

Thank you just skipping round the proxies here have to keep changing them

Re: north manc
 

Hi the eng no problems here in Droylsden been working great since they last fixed them.

Re: north manc
 

think this may more relate to my connection, not NTL so am doing some checking

Re: north manc
 

Definitely something amiss, I have had to resort to my Zen dial up once again to post this, cannot reach this site via Ntl BB.

EDIT, dial up is so slow,:sleep:

Can reach other sites but still cannot get to cableforum via Ntl BB.

tracert times out.

Re: north manc
 

just tried a tracert via Allnettools and that timed out completely at hop 6.

Re: north manc
 

You cannot tracert to cableforum - our firewall blocks icmp traffic.

Re: north manc
 

iadom specify a proxy that will keep it working

Re: north manc
 

just checked server status nothing on proxies but this could be proxy related

Re: north manc
 

Just had to select a proxy to get to the forums kept getting page couldn't be displayed in IE and no data in Firefox now using manc 2 for Cableforums and none for ISPreview :confused:

Re: north manc
 

:td: And NTL tell us nothing wrong with the proxy routing software:Yikes:

Re: north manc
 

Well here is a shock. I am having to select a proxy, But only when i try to get here.

Re: north manc
 

Bill it keeps changing can now get NTLworld and webmail but not nthellworld.co.uk so am also having to specify a proxy

Re: north manc
 

Hey Bill welcome to my random proxy world mind it don't happen as often.... First time for a long while... My fault for saying it was working fine here earlier as someone decided I needed the same treatment as the eng.. :D

Re: north manc
 

I only just noticed this.... see my thread too. I'm having to change every 10 mins or so at the moment to be able to get this page up :(

Re: north manc
 

Just had to change proxy again now on manc 3 so when I get to manc 14 I will have to start all over again :erm: perhaps its time to call tech support who else fancies calling them make a solid frontal attack :D

Re: north manc
 

Hope you have reported it to NTL Bill:LOL: :LOL:

Kits just changed proxy again getting through these baguley ones winnerish next

This load balacing must be out of touch tonight

Re: north manc
 

Well don't think NTL want any calls regarding proxies. 0845 650 0925 then put in phone number> 2>1>3 then silence and disconnection.........

so tried going for BB not working and same silence so NTL dont play music anymore while you wait...

Can any NTL telephone engineer go and check the above number is working correctly please.

Re: north manc
 

All manc playing up on baguley now, lets see whats next :D

Re: north manc
 

I am now on Manc 4 :(

Re: north manc
 

Think you better read THIS :) and THIS :)

Re: north manc
 

So how come there was no message on server status explaining this to customers.

Seems a bit silly could have saved loads of calls to the support line

Or is it just me that thinks that would be sensible:D

Re: north manc
 

DOH, I did know but it slipped my mind. :dunce: Can now access this site via Ntl BB without specifying proxies. Did not have time ( or inclination ) to mess around last night, but could not get here yesterday at all.

Re: north manc
 

Perhaps it was because it was not an Ntl fault,:p: :)

Re: north manc
 

:clap: Correct give that person a big fat cigar :)

Re: north manc
 

Over the wall culture not our problem :shrug: talk about customer service

Re: north manc
 

Sorry but the time has come. What the hell does that mean. An explanation in English will do :mad:

I am sorry but when a fault is somewhere else why is it NTL's fault. Or is this yet another case of WE ARE DAMMED IF WE DO AND DAMMED IF WE DONT.

Re: north manc
 

Bill during this problem a certain tech blammed my equipment not the internet so am very annoyed about this.
I reconfigurfed the system here connected without firewall and was told it was OS.
After a few hours its all ok nowt changed here at all
So you can understand me being a lot irritable
