Re: reading area died
 

:eek: How did the conversation decay so rapidly that you called him stupid? I've had a few head-bangingly irritating CS calls in my time (not just with NTL) but I don't recall ever abusing the person I was talking to. :p:

Reading ... well it is up ...

But I'm finding random problems ... like sites I can not reach, but if I VPN into work I can then get them. DNS ?

Re: reading area died
 

Or your proxy. Try changing it.

Re: reading area died
 

nope does not appear to be that .. tried serveral....

But with or without proxy does work if I am connected through VPN to work and then go out via that link. Its only happening on certain sites (US ones) so I guess there is some problem NTL network wise.

My limited understanding of how the internet works would suggest that it's DNS then. That too is changeable, but public, trustworthy DNS can be a little harder to come by.

well he insisted i restart my computer i explained i didnt actually have a computer on or in fact in a state that i could turn it on - he asked how i knew my broadband wasnt working and i said because the lights where out and he insisted he couldnt assist me until i restarted my pc, i said having my pc on wouldnt affect the signal getting to me i could have the broadband plugged into a washing machine for all it cares its got no signal..this went on for a while and i gave in and pretended i restarted my pc
