I had to change proxy to get it. It runs a little bit slow but yes I can get it.

Website loads fine here, NTL REALLY need to sort this out....

It loads fine here, but I understand your pain, different proxies can be a real pain in the a..

Unfortunately NTL don't want to know about the proxies, I've been talking with some exec office staff recently about my Poplar proxy problems - easy to see and replicate - just try steampowered.com on Poplar at the moment for just one example, or the steady stream of posts in this forum alone about them not working properly - but they won't budge. They don't seem to care that the bad actions of some NTL members (why Valve have blacklisted the Proxies I imagine) affect thousands of people - very bad service indeed.
I would much rather they forget the 10mb speed increases(us on Poplar won't see them after 7pm anyhow) and spend the money on fixing/removing the proxies.

My only advice is to move ISP if you can/are willing - I would, but at this time in my life it would be more hassle than its worth - sadly that seems to be what they are banking on.

Perhaps we should all start witholding a percentage of our monthly fee, for those sites that don't work on NTL but do elsewhere - maybe that would make them notice

Well they are been cheap on the external traffic side of things but dont want to admit it. How many customers do ntl have 1.4million? and I heard ntl have around 8 gig of transit available. (this may be wrong and if someone "knows" I am wrong feel free to correct me with the actual amount of transit), this is from someone who works @ ntl. Now I know of some small isp's that have around 5 gig of transit and they certianly dont have 1.4million customers or anywhere near that amount, 8 gig is not a big number, if you have say 8000 1mbit users pushing for traffic at the same time that alone requires 8 gig of transit, so if you work out 20:1 that would be suitable transit for say 160000 1mbit users and even at 50:1 its 400000 still well below a million.

I correct myself, I spoke to him again, and I been told the available transit for usa is around 22 gig, 6 gig of it which is cogent, he says there is a problem with the way traffic is been routed tho, and that any isp that utilises cogent regardless if they also have a better route ntl is deciding cogent is the best route every time, causing the other 2 routes to be very under utilised and cogent to be congested.

cosh-cache-4.server.ntli.net works it works fine from

Phoned up NTL . After about 20 minutes of being treated like a Moron - Oh there is some maintenance on the cable stream your modem is on. I said that it has been like it for 2 days (which it has) same reply she said - maintenance on channel ? - fop off me thinks
