Hi, I have been experiencing browsing problems since the 4th December. I have rang NTL several times to be told "the engineers are aware of the problem, and are working on it". I finally lost patience last night, and changed my dns settings to Pipex and chose a different NTL proxy. The result ? Better browsing, but still a little slower than I have come to expect from my 600kbit service. Better than nothing though.

I have read elsewhere on this forum that the dns servers can be set in your hardware router. Does this apply to all hardware routers ? I have a NetGear, which I use to split my broadband around the house. Is there any advantage to setting the dns servers here rather than in my network properties on my pc's ?

Keep up the good work, great website
