while what you say is correct, NTL do have a problem with their dns servers, pinging ip addresses will work obviously, pinging domains ???.

There was obviously an issue considering the amount of faults reported on the old site, and I know enough about computers to know what caused the issue I had, lookups were failing so I replaced the default dns servers with another isp's the problem dissapeared so you make your own conclusion, it also fixed numerous of my friend's connections as well and they are all ntl customer's.

Like I said before its not that hard to hide it because it is a on/off thing, it will fail to propogate a domain then 4 hours later it may work so the average user who wouldn't be a tech wiz would never guess its a fault with the isp.
