Hi All

I am having some issues an I hope someone can help.

I am on NTL 2MB and all appears to work fine until i try and download anything held on my newsgroup (easynews)
Sometimes I will get around 220Kb-230kb my normal speed, but most of the time I get anywhere between 5kb-100kb.
This has only started happening since all the issues with NTL's proxies and only happens on easynews. all other sites works fine. I have spoken to easynews and we tested the path from them to me and found lutn-t2core-a-pos31.inet.ntl.com is dropping 60% of data packets sent to it. I have also spoken to NTL and given them my findings, but they are insistant there is no issue on their side of things and it myst be easynews at fault.
As far s I can tell easynews is OK as they can max out my works 20MB connection.
If it is any help my modem is connected via Ethernet to an Apple Airport Extreme basestation, with My PC connected to it via Ethernet and my iBook on the wireless.

Is anyone having the same type of issues with easynews or any other site?
Anyone have any ideas what I can do next?

Thanks
