its not a case of ntl forcing this on users without their permission - they are the ISP and they have always used proxies. if they are turned off then that is a maintainence issue. frankly ntl can and will force users to use proxies as long as it is a cost effective option for them. in other word they will do as they please.

If you do not think ntl force them on their users, then why do we not have the options to turn them off as we please unlike other companies who allow users to choose whether they use proxies or not.
Even Telewest AFAIK who used to have forced proxies have turned them off and allowed users the choice as to whether they want to use them or not.

"they dont utilise their external bandwidth" beacuse the more we use the external bandwidth the more it costs them! if you want all the proxies turned off then you may find BB prices will go up or a pay per bandwidth billing is introduced, (maybe not a bad idea for those who want proxy-less web browsing)

Why does it cost more for ntl? Other ISP's are capable of offering proxyless capless connections for pretty much the same price as the ntl offering, give or take a few quid, so why can't ntl?
