Methinks I'm going to leave this thread alone now, popular opinion seems to be that I'm either a) A liar, or b) An idiot, and members here seem to know more about ntl's operations than I do, and won't believe what I say without me breaking NDA and posting stats, which are right now none of your business. As you illustrated pem caches hit rate won't be public knowledge among your company, and you are IT meister - why should your ISP be any different? While complaining about your ISP it seems to be a common thing the demands for information - do you ask your electricity supplier where your electricity comes from, what power station generated it, do you ask your gas supplier where the gas was drawn from, where it was refined, or a petrol station where the oil was drilled and refined, and how? Anyone going to move to Sky and BT and phone up Sky and ask about the transponders on the Astra satellite network, or phone BT and ask about the finer points of ATM backhauls to their exchanges, or what LAC and LNS is being used, the specifications of said devices, ask your ISP what transit they use? Is it really any of your business so long as a reasonable service is provided?
That's not a popular viewpoint, but it's true. When we mess up, fair enough expect us to fix it. When things work, what's the problem?
Th'Eng - anti-ntl drivel, and very short sighted. Think about the Broadband Plus content for a start, various streaming sites on there, think about the future as well. Of course it's easier to sit there smug and santimonious now - if you really are all that why aren't you extremely loaded running your own super-efficient ISP, rather than staying with ntl for the sake of a few quid a month in retention offers? Think you're still yet to answer

Back to the original point I'm still yet to receive a PM complaining about Baguley's caches and asking for assistance with them, a day later.
