Re: My Views on NTL after 2 Months
Noticing a lot of "only works on the second try" - cannot find host or DNS error - not sure if that's proxy, DNS or BOTH giving rise to that problem.


If I had to put the main problem of NTLWORLD in one word ... RELIABILITY.

On the rare occasions when all the parts are working, it is a joy to behold, and none of the fiddling with PPOE and other oddities that can beset ADSL.

But, in the main, there is always something down, or at best only half working:
1. The flaky DNS
2. The flaky proxies
3. Email, varies between excellent, slow, and failed
4. News servers, they DID work well, once upon a time, long, long ago

NTL crow about having a million broadband users, but it fees like they can only comfortably run half that!
