Re: NTL Cable users can't access totalbet.com or ukbetting.com

I think if the NTL statement is correct, the problem with proxies is due to lazy programming on the web sites affected, i.e. they don't bother to look at the end client IP, just the proxy, then think they are suffering a denial-of-service attack and block the proxy ip. IF this is the case, its a teamtalk problem, not NTL's.
No, its us the poor NTL customers problem, we are stuck in a no mans land of non working sites and slow access

Basically the argument seems to be that either the whole web changes to accomodate NTL or NTL changes...hmmm tricky one that.
Yes there are standards, and yes designers should stick to them , but they don't and many sites simply don't work on NTL that work elsewhere, thats without taking into account the whole 'false denial of service blocks proxies which in turn blocks whole areas of the country' thing
