Proxy server ... a machine on the NTL network that stores copies of web pages in order to serve them up to you more quickly than having to go and get an original copy of the page each time you try to access it.
That's the theory anyway. In practice ntl's proxy servers frequently seem to go belly up, and if they do, it may be worth your while manually choosing a different one by making changes to your internet connection settings. To try this, have a look at the first post in this thread:

For details on all the different ways you can manually reconfigure your intenet connection to bypass ntl's frequent outages, have a look at Robin walker's ntlworld homepage:
