 How did the conversation decay so rapidly that you called him stupid? I've had a few head-bangingly irritating CS calls in my time (not just with NTL) but I don't recall ever abusing the person I was talking to.

Re: reading area died
nope does not appear to be that .. tried serveral....
But with or without proxy does work if I am connected through VPN to work and then go out via that link. Its only happening on certain sites (US ones) so I guess there is some problem NTL network wise.

Re: reading area died
My limited understanding of how the internet works would suggest that it's DNS then. That too is changeable, but public, trustworthy DNS can be a little harder to come by.
