I am after any information or help, is it a hardware problem at my end, a software problem at my end or NTL?
What speeds are you getting if you download a reasonably large file, say from www.bbc.co.uk or www.microsoft.com ? I say these two as they are usually pretty fast servers so any delays should be down to NTL/your connection.

Also, are you running any type of firewall. If so, make sure this isn't blocking required packets as this could result in poor page loading speeds.

Finally, quite a few people are experiencing loss of pages due to problems with NTL's proxy servers (including myself). I've now resorted to specifying a non-NTL proxy in my connection settings thanks to the guys on this forum. Might be worth trying.
