Afte the big post on the major problems in Scunthorpe, a UBR I assume was replaced and all was well - until last night that was.....

Now this is a slightly different problem I am thinking, at 1am (or there abouts) last night my connection went off - fair enough i assumed they are doing work in the area (rebalancing etc). Now today - its a wierd one - if you use a Proxy (not a NTL one) then the web works fine - FTP etc is not effected at all.

MSN back to on and offline - though to be honest MSN has had some serious problems anyhow of late - so not something to point the finger at this time for ntl.

Would Anyone of inside information care to explain why once again it is playing up? I noticed no posts but there is something on the status page (12th oct) - is it a UBR problem again or is all the Proxy Servers dead?? I can browse and work using a alternative proxy but would like to hear what the problem is this time - is NTL network falling apart?
