I'm in the Manchester area and on their pathetic attempts at providing a proxy service - this morning I could do all the usual collect mail, talk over yahoo etc, but come to surfing the net - 10 mins to load google.co.uk on a 1meg connection? not on! - I couldn't even surf the net to find Robin Walkers page to switch proxies - I ended up calling the faults centre in Wales, after dialing every number possible at NTL only to discover they are all closed - marvellous idea that is! - My connection is now kind of working, but I would'nt say I was getting the speeds I got while the proxies were switched off - I have to use the proxy given to me on the phone for a week then call back after trying the Manchester ones again, if they are not working next week, its bye bye NTL.
