The problem with using proxies is the fact that only the traffic that you are requesting through a browser is affected. Anything else you want to do with your connection is still routed by the default route specified by NTL and is therefore slow slow slow. Not to mention the longer response times you get from routing further away.

I know this isnt a problem for a lot of people, but it just annoys me that we should run workarounds for their incompetence and poor network structure.
