Re: Problems in Romford ?

I don't use any specific cache (I'm assuming I go through the transparent cache though)

As I say the problem appears to have started for me about 4-5 days ago, and is worse at peak times
The transparent cache for our area is currently off.
I also had the DNS issues you describe a few days ago, they seem fixed now but I found that when it was happening if I manually set NTL's DNS servers then it fixed the problem, might be worth a try ?
