Not enough to stop the complaints with DNS E-mail and proxies

Don't cloud the issue, e-mail is nothing to do with proxy, complaints on this board from elsewhere regarding proxies are rare, DNS is pretty much there now AFAIK.

You assume that its nice to know also appears outside NTLs expertise with all the problems

No, I know it from some of your posts, which are technically quite incorrect, and previous conversations.

People in the trail area are having problem makes me wonder what network techs NTL employ, reading of problems required whats this thread for reading required.

It's not a trial, it's live deployment.

But they know how to make proxies work by clustering and suitable software

Suitable software? It's done at router, not by specific clustering kit, see my point previously about your realms of expertise.

So you agree there is and will be a problem

I certainly did not say that, I referred to issues from quite some time ago as was very clear from my words.

YES and we are talking NTL here to get them sorted, will be oh another fix, DOH that did not work, oh another fix DOH that did not work three months later with lost revenue in the North west and a smaller customer base you switch them off again and go back tio the drawing boards after losing NTL loads of Money.

Whatever, sounds like with anticap failing you are looking for another campaign. Though you nearly got kicked out of there after scaring away every ntl employee and supporter of the cap who posted there with rather over-zealous remarks. There may be issues to begin with as caches are carrying live traffic, resolvable ones, and there are a lot of other factors that can affect browsing speeds, as I'd hope you know, easier to blame caches than do any real troubleshooting no?

REMEMBER PHONE UP CS AND COMPLAIN to Alan Grant on these proxies

An excellent plan. Then those with real serious issues will be ignored due to a mass of mail from those who aren't proxied at the moment, such as yourself, have no issues relating to them, but still see fit to spam the MD of their area for whatever reason. Tech support is there for a reason, if you have real issues with web browsing log calls with them, once a few such calls are logged issues tend to be escalated higher up and reach the right people. There is due process, which when followed can get the right results, and some of ntl's network people do read these forums, though it gets less and less as they get bored of unsubstantiated criticism and people who think they know their jobs better than they do. Biting the hand that feeds you comes to mind, these people have a job to do and come on here to assist out of courtesy, being told they are clueless will achieve nothing, just as it did on anticap. *vaguely remembers ntl nettie from there running away after a chat with Th'Eng*.

I've had enough of this subject anyway , campaign away, or if you find it that objectionable get ADSL as you threaten to, you will almost certainly be proxied soon Th'Eng, everywhere else is, why should mant be different?
