this confuses me, i've never changed a proxy and never experienced a bad service, all my IE links work quickly as they should, why do people keep going on about NTL proxies, my service has been fine from ever since BB started years ago and i use it everyday?. Is it a Northern thing
|
Lucky you, nope not a Northern thing, I'm in London - in fact the Northern proxies I try are better than Poplar.

I honestly think some people over hype these things, if it was a great a problem, there would of have been something done about it.

LOL, I thought that too, but now that I've been trying since 12 August to get someone/anyone from NTL to respond through their official channels, I think not. Add to that the fact that *we* had to tell NTL when they brought in 3 meg that their proxies were wrongly configured for USA sites and you'll forgive me for not really agreeing with you there.

I only have to use a proxy to get to whatever site very rarely. I think the peeps who complain should state what proxy it is they are going through, if its *that* bad then I'm sure others who can try their proxy will agree.

I've been quoting my proxy group all the way through this thread, I've been posting traces, I keep track of downloads to my servers at different times of the day, and some proxies work fine - think yourself lucky that you are using some that work ok, but please don't patronise those of us that are CLEARLY having problems and being ignored.
Maybe we are wrong, maybe its something all of us suffering have installed on our pc's, maybe we all use weird sites that no one else uses - maybe its space monkeys - unfortunately we won't know because no one from NTL will talk to me, it seems from reading proxy posts going back on this board for years that whenever proxies are mentioned that NTL clams up, and this seems to be the case again
I'm glad you can surf ok, I'm happy for you.
I shall console myself with that thought as I struggle to open my account in EBuyer for the 4th time....
