Hi pastaman, & welcome
You couldn't browse *at all*?
What proxy server details did you enter?
You will get faster browsing with a proxy specified if that proxy is currently working better than the one you would "transparently" use when you have no proxy specified.
Stu has a sticky thread with info about changing proxies here:

There's a list of NTL proxies to try here:

And more info on proxy changing here:

Also........The NTL service staus page has a mention of the problem in the Brighton & Hove area, & says it's already been resolved:
