Okeydokey.
NTL operates a proxy cache system. When you request a web page/link it will bring it from its cache. The reason for this is to reduce NTL's bandwith traffic coming in and out of its own network (which it would have to pay for). Unfortunatley, the downside is that you are often served up old pages or dead links because the cache has not been updated. If you make a change to your website and then immediately test it out you can often find that you'll get a dead link or a page not found unless you force a full refresh in your browser (hold CTRL key and click refresh). If you can then use the link/see the page after a refresh then it is the proxy cache that was to blame. The CTRL refresh forces that particular browser request to bypass the NTL cache for the requested address.
