- DNS

on an intermittent basis

the DNS servers being intermittent were causing problems connecting to anything not going through ntl web proxies as it may not have been resolving your request however the proxies have cached DNS resolution so did not need to rely on the dns servers

but anything not connecting via proxies would have caused intermittent problems with dns resolution

there is also a problem with routing on a certain ip range but i do not believe that this affects you guys

hope this clarifies a little
Yup seems to have been sorted. Would of been nice to have been more informed.
