ntlhome Internet Service - All areas
ntlhome internet customers in all areas may currently be experiencing connectivity problems.
This is due to a technical fault affecting one of our DNS clusters. It may manifest itself as a delayed connection to any services such as browing web pages and collecting/sending email.
The issue is compounded by firewalls performing reverse DNS lookups attempting to identify the source of worm related traffic. We would ask that if you are able to do so, you disable the reverse lookup (sometimes called backtrace) feature in your firewall for traffic of this nature. This will not reduce the protection that your firewall affords you, but may increase the performance of your connection and that of others.
Our engineers are currently working to resolve the issue as soon as possible.
Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause
