Oh, by the way, i've still had no response from Ntl tech' support but Newshosting responded within 12 hours. I have nothing bad to say about them and their service. I firmly believe Ntl are at fault here.

Did u try other ports apart from 119... try 7000 8000 or 9000. I am maxing out on newshosting, but need 8 connections I also have 2 NTL connections open that when in use are downloading way faster than the newshosting server. and when testing my connection on that giganews site, on both tests I only get 1mb.
