What the hell is NTL playing at? I shouldn't have to mess with these settings at all. It seems that every time they start "load balancing", the result is loss of connection to certain sites. Perhaps this balancing actually means preventing traffic so the load is reduced?

Whatever it is, it's pi**ing me off. I can't get BT ADSL otherwise I'd be gone. Is there anything that can be done? I'm tempted to return to 56k. At least it's cheaper!
There is not a lot you can do m8 - I know how you feel as I have the same problem. I know it sounds weird but sometimes using a proxy that is miles away can get you better results. I am using 62.253.94.40 cache1-winn.server.ntli.net and my browsing is not to bad.....

I do feel for you m8 - It makes you want to.....
