Isn't the idea tho when you maxing out your bandwidth is just to ensure the right things still have good performance, sounds like ntl are deliberatly not utilising all of their external bandwidth, which is different to what I would want them to do to solve the problem, fact is proxies reduce performance and cause problems on frequently updated sites, it can also cause problems where ip addresses are used to allow/dissallow access, ntl shouldnt be forcing these on users without their permission.
