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.
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?

it doesn't cost ntl anymore than another ISP of a similar size. what i am saying is they have to pay for the exta bandwidth used when proxies are not in use.
I would like the option not to use proxies. they are excellent for dial up connections and quite good for caching regularly used websites. I wouldn't mind if they were more reliable - although i have had few problems in the swansea area when they are on (they were off for some time last year)
