If I change to another then the downloads are fine. This is having an adverse effect on online gaming but NTL say that it should only make a difference to ports for browsing, ftp and mail.

The game uses port 7203 if that helps.

As another test if you change to lutn-cache-1.server.ntli.net the connection rockets along. Can I get NTL to change the default proxy server for my connection?
There most certainly are issues with the NTL Luton Proxies, ive been experiencing sporadic performance for the past week or so, and im a techie, so its not my networking gear, Geez NTL if im a network Techie im sure I know how to set up my work stuff on the Home network (3Com).

I download that file through my transparent proxy and get 256kB/s.
I then change to the Watford Proxy "watf-cache-1.server.ntli.net" and download at 1200kB/s. Someone explain that one

Come on NTL sort it out Please

I should also Mention Im in Hemel Hempstead
Also my transparent Proxy is ALWAYS 'lutn-cache-2.server.ntli.net'

TBH tho all i do is surf using the Watford Proxy and use NNTP which isnt affected so my connections fine at moment.
