BBC is a default choice because it's so well cached / mirrored, reduces the chances of a fault on a website's performance shiding a fault on the ntl network.
The rest of it I agree with though, proxy issues are something that's poorly dealt with not least because according to all metrics and readouts from the proxies they are performing well and are not overloaded in any way. (He says looking at the NetApp info).
Bet if you specify a proxy it resolves the issue?

Ignition I think the problem is when it isnt cached, the proxy freaks out. Static sites like bbc are probably very high hit rate on the cache and perform fine on the proxies, things like this site and other forums which are dynamic sites will have a low cache hit ratio and these sites are the ones that have problems. Yes specifying a proxy usually is a workaround but not a fix, its somewhat a nuisance and the browser doesnt perform as well when it is using a proxy.
