Hiya, long time reader/lurker - first time poster and all that

This transparent web proxy issue is really starting to annoy me. Is there ever going to be a fix? I rang NTL once the other night in a fit of rage - and as i suspected the helpdesk guy didn't have a clue what i was on about, and gave me one of the other proxy servers in oxford to use.

I can get round the problem with easynews by using port 81 for downloads, but i also listen to alot of streaming media - and enjoy watching videos from sites like Gamespot and Ign.

For sites like Gamespot there doesn't seem to be any way to tell GS's media player settings to use a different port or local proxy - so i cant view any streaming video's other than 300k quality. For someone on 3MB this really sucks.

Is there any acknowledgment of the problem by NTL? a post on there website or sommet? i would like to be compensated for this, as its really affecting my service.

Anyone else had problems with Gamespot / IGN / BBC radio1 streaming?

Cheers

Dave
