NTL Stockton.Middlesbrough
 

Any idea why I can't get to some sites?

Some are OK, some just timeout, sites such as
- www.inglebybarwick.com
- www.yarm.net
- www.clearchaos.net

Won't work, whereas sites like this one are fine. I can see all the sites above by using my VPN connection to work.

Strange. It's happened before but as yet I have no idea why. It seems to last for a couple of days and then resolve!

Fine here on ADSL, it sounds like the old story of the ntl proxies playing up *sigh*

Take a look here: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/robin.d...cache.html#iew for info on how to join in the amazing 'proxy jumping' game.

:welcome: to the site btw. :)

It could be a proxy issue as Neil says.

Also, can you tracert to the sites in question? I was thinking it might be a hosts file problem.

Hi, Im in Middlesbrough and cannot connect to Hotmail via Outlook Express or www.thewrestlingchannel.tv.

It is starting to annoy me now as I have been unable to check my Hotmail (5 accounts) for the past 3 days (Web portal does not load either).

What is the "Best" or most reliable Proxy to use ?

Thanks guys

Matthew

EDIT : cache1-cdif.server.ntli.net Works fine. NTL need to sort there act out, I mean, I know what I am doing changing proxys, but I bet 80% of "normal" users have no clue and are stuck thinking there connection is broke. :(

Re: NTL Stockton.Middlesbrough
 

I'm in Stockton, and I can't get to:

www.hotmail.com
www.dvdpricecheck.co.uk

:mad:

Just about to try the proxy you suggest Matthew... fingers crossed.

Re: NTL Stockton.Middlesbrough
 

Good Luck, let me know how you get on ...

Re: NTL Stockton.Middlesbrough
 

Yup, sorted.
Thanks :D

Re: NTL Stockton.Middlesbrough
 

Works ok with a specified proxy, doesnt load without one though. (im in redcar).

Ive noticed quite a few sites over the last 5 days are like this.....

Re: NTL Stockton.Middlesbrough
 

Yea, same here, about 10% of sites I have bookmarked are dead.
Luckely I have a few contacts all over the country, so I just chage to one of there working proxys if needed (Not that I should hve to though !! )

Re: NTL Stockton.Middlesbrough
 

Not sure if antone is interested but ive been using this proxy for last 8 months and have had zero probs 62.254.128.4 port 8080

Not sure what proxy it is though........

Re: NTL Stockton.Middlesbrough
 

It's an Oxford cache.

Re: NTL Stockton.Middlesbrough
 

I can't even get to this site without manually specifying a proxy :(

It's a big problem for me in the Teesside area as I run a couple of local community web sites, most users (judging by hits) are with NTL. As the sites aren't aimed at technical people, I suspect most of my users just think my sites are dead.

:mad: Grrr.....

Re: NTL Stockton.Middlesbrough
 

I'm still having issues today :(

Re: NTL Stockton.Middlesbrough
 

Just one question to everyone in this thread that is having problems-how many of you actually rung ntl & informed them of your problems???

Re: NTL Stockton.Middlesbrough
 

NTL Stockton are not concerned, you must ring the tech support, and have you tryed ringing tech support latley? Not only does it cost, but you are on hold for up to an hour and then get the standard "We`ll inform the apropriate department" response.
