Unfortunately I am no expert, I know that the 3dgamers servers are in the USA, so the ping increase is correct, the trace *seems* to look fine, no obvious slowdowns, but I get the same sort of traces to my Telia routed server and the downloads are *awful* via NTL proxies but fine via AOL proxies.

We would need someone from NTL to tell us why the speeds are slow.
All I know is they *are* slow, I don't know why.

I've raised this as you know from my other thread, I had someone from head office contact me on Friday, and I pointed them to my other thread, but it seems almost everyday there are new threads on here regarding bad download speeds from web browsing, so it seems there is something wrong somewhere.
