This suggests to me that the NTL proxies are going the DNS lookup (and failing) therefore changing DNS locally will have no effect.

Am I missing something obvious here ?
This is what i said earlier in this thread. I can browse using a proxy and can download from the US at my full 128KB/s so my guess is that its a combination of DNS issues and the transparent proxies.

If you bypass the proxies, browsing is fine WITHOUT changing any DNS settings. Well it is for me anywayz
