NTL working on servers etc. Why do they seem to always be doing something with no noticeable difference at the end. I seem to have had trouble for 48hrs. now.
Am I being too critical, as I was on dial up with Virgin for 3 years without ant trouble whatsoever.

DNS= Domain Name System....
What it does is take the name of a website (
www.yahoo.co.uk for example) and translates it into an IP (Internet Protocol) address eg : 192.168.123.112.
When this fails, if you do not know the IP address for the site you wish to browse (or connect to in any way) you will be unable to connect to it.
as for server status - look
here for the current server status according to NTL.
Hope This Helps
