I still cannot find Yahoo profiles unless I specify a different proxy.
Before anybody asks I reported this months ago as Yahoo seem to know all about the problems with NTL and the proxy issue.
The Tech guy I spoke to at that time had never heard of the problem and said he would flag it up higher.
Sorry to say I have never heard back from Tech and we still have the same problem.
According to some places on the internet I have visited they all seem to say the same. i.e. if your ISP uses proxy servers you will always have trouble surfing the net. The most notable is Dan Elwell with his speed tester.
As we seem to be stuck with NTL insisting on using proxy servers I can only come to the conclusion that we are stuck with this problem.
