The Proxy server I am connected to has been a bit flaky for at least the last few years. In the past I used to just manually specify a proxy and get back on the web, but virgin has stopped that now.
Is there a way I can get around this duff proxy? I lose half the net several times a day for times up to 15 mins. During this time, some websites will work, BBC etc, and I can even run a Traceroute to the ones that don't. I have tried with multiple pc's and even an iBook and exactly the same. Email and VOIP still work during these times.
I have mentioned this proxy to NTL/Virgin more than once, but I think it will stay as it is until it fails.
Hoping someone can help.
