News Servers

Hi all,

Anyone in the Bromley area experiencing trouble with news servers? For the 3rd day running now, I've had a problem viewing and posting on newsgroups. I noticed earlier in the week that NTL were doing some work near Orpington, but for the last 2 days, I've been unable to view the service status page, so what use is that?!!

Cheers :naughty:

Yes I've been having trouble too with newsgroups, missing multiparts, posts not uploading, etc. Bromley area too, must be a general problem.
