Bit of a long shot, liamboyle06, but I remember a year or two back there were a few cases of users who, for some unknown reason, had their usernames and email accounts incremented - i.e. "johnsmith" and "johnsmith@ntlworld.com" became "johnsmith1" and "johnsmith1@ntlworld.com." Never got it figured out how or why it happened, but it might be worth checking out - see if a similarly modified version of your non-working username/email address works.

Naturally when i called ntl they didn't know what hte problem was!
Does anyone know what the code means and if there is anything i can do about it? I've had this error before, and it usually goes away in it's own time..
thank you!!!

I noticed in another thread someone else was having a similar problem, mira, and at that point the ntlworld website wasn't responding, and the email servers (I use a different email provider anyway) were giving terrible pings. Site's Ok now, and the mail servers are pinging Ok, so maybe your problem will have sorted itself?
