Herm debatable, caching is important and does have advantages - it will speed up the browsing experience if implemented correctly, the problem is with the caches being slow because they are either over loaded or not load balanced correctly...and again with them caching stale copys of data.
Not all the problems are down to the caching some is down to issues with Cisco's WCCP redirection protocol, Also, I think you will probably find that the caching has got better since NTL implemented Network Appliance caches instead of the Inktomi ones.
If NTL turned the all the caches off, the network would probably grind to a halt. Most large networks use caching - Just look at the
SuperJANET Web Cache Service .
Unfortunately caching is here to stay on nearly all networks not just NTL's. It's about NTL and other companies configuring it correctly.
