Don't bother looking at the service status page, it's as much use as a chocolate teapot. On the many occasions that I have had problems with Ntl broadband, there is rarely anything on the status page. When you phone Faults, you eventually get to a message telling you that there is a known fault (as today there is a NATIONAL fault) that they are working on. I get sick of complaining about unreliable service and am seriously thinking of kicking Ntl out, lock stock and barrel. Having read some of the forum threads, it seems even that is not straightforward.
When things are running right, it's pretty good but thats not saying much cos it aint right that often. Anyway, thats my moan over.
SERVICE STATUS PAGE......... Seldom up to date.
Oh and by the way, I've been getting packet loss up to 50% over the last 2 days. Having to connect through a proxy server at the moment to get anything like reliable internet connection.
