my issue here in detail

Did experiments with my own proxy server, and it seems the ntl proxies cant cope, I tried colchester proxies and the first 2 are good but the last 4 are slow. Right now trying number 2 for normal use.
The problem is I cannot see NTL backing down on this problem, I would be very surprised if they abandoned their proxy policy even tho there are much better ways to save the money.
