I did wonder if something was up, I'd get about 3k of a webpage loading and it'd freeze, I just put in a proxy in Cambridge instead and it's been fine since, I don't mind swapping proxies as long as I have a connection.
To all those whining like little girls about this, why not do something about it yourselves, instead of waiting for NTL to resolve it, we've had proxy issues before in a lot of areas, just switch to another one, it's
that easy!
