Not Really a silly comment mate considering how many people come out of the woodwork and just Bitch about NTL and their problems instead of posting in the forum on a regular basis and helping and contributing to the site. |
just a thought..
previously a similar major connectivity problem was attributed to a ddos attack
on the NTL dns servers.
while wondering why they can't deal with this more effectively, if it is the case, this time, it is hardly their 'fault' that someone would attempt to screw up their service like this.
- unfortunately, for very good reasons, NTL will not be able to give any clues, at all, to what they are doing about it ... |
I see your point, homealone, but assuming this is a repeat of the DDoS attack they had recently, you'd hope that they'd at least be prepared to deal with it. There are ways of mitigating a DDoS, and you'd hope that, if anybody, an ISP would be aware of these and have something in place for days like today. In my line of work, I'd be expecting a P45 on my desk in the morning if I performed as badly.
Ack, I dunno what to do when I can't browse t'internet or play Counter Strike.

As I said previously, in my post which you blatantly ignored (Not something which impresses me  ) The perfect PC - Cable modem setup isn't going to fix a global ntl DNS issue now is it? |
If that as about my comment Mick, one does apologise, it was unprofessional and rather silly.  I should know better considering I'm a IT Systems Analyst. |
No mate, it was about someone else's comment
