Re: Problems using my ntlworld email when not connected directly to my ntl cable mode

Thanks again Rob. I guess that I have just become rather cynical about NTL over the years. The strange thing is, is that I found the following on the Virgin site, but it doesn't in fact seem to work.
Regards.

It isn't about cost cutting really, it's about the misuse of VM's servers and prevention of same. I suppose VM could enable other authentication measures for remote clients that are "off net", but that would affect on net customers too, adding to the complications and errors that many customers already get confused about in their setups. It's easier for them just to autheniticate based on the IP.
