im in bromley too and my net is going at a snails pace. Surfing is really slow, and im not even gonna try and download anything :dozey: And its only been for the past 3 days as well (no viruses, or spyware on my computer), i even tried without router and its still going slow. Something is going on in bromley :(

I'm in South London (SE15) - Bromley Exchange I think - and I'm having very sluggish web browsing at the moment.

I'm good with PCs generally - have a clean system and have rebooted the modem several times to no effect.

Re: service sucks
 

If you know others in your area that have the same problem it is most probably congestion thats causing the slow down.

Re: service sucks
 

that makes no sense whatsoever but thanks for your suggestion anyway

Re: service sucks
 

Same problem. Would do a speed test but can't even get it to load. As usual nothing on Service Status

Re: service sucks
 

Im in Dartford which on the Bromley Exchange. Just downloaded 60meg update and that was fine at about 9mbs, which browsing is deadly slow just like the old days.

yeah seems to a problem with the bromley area that i think NTL are looking into but it is nearly 7 so not much hope really

only seems to be web stuff on port 80 all other stuff i do is running fine

Re: service sucks
 

I just posted the proxy information NTL gave me over the phone to get web browsing back to normal whilst they rectify the situation:

given that this thread is almost identical to the link above and a merge would be confusing, I am closing this thread.
