Without an Upstream you wouldn't have a Downstream as the requests you send UPSTREAM via your Web Broser, FTP program, Newsreader, e-mail program etc, are acknowledged and sent back DOWNSTREAM to you and so on until you receive the data you requested.

So when a packet of data goes AWOL during the UPSTREAM transmission phase, you sit like a lemon waiting for your web page or whatever to receive the acknowledgement back to your request, but it never receives it because NTL have lost the packet of data, so you have to resend the request. This is what's happening because of the UPSTREAM problem, and NTL don't see that as a problem???

I gave up phoning them today, tried a couple of times 20+ minutes and then had to go out. Can't say I want to keep racking up a lousy phonebill from the same company that's screwed my connection for nearly 2 months now!!
