Have NTL Blocked Hotmail?!

ScallyPete · 23-09-2005, 16:46

Hi Guys,

I've tried to access my hotmail account both this morning and just now but after entering my password, it just times out and I get page cannot be displayed.

However, I've been at work today on a Tiscali Broadband connection and it's been working fine.

The reason I suspect it is an NTL problem is that I write on another message board and loads of people have complained about the same thing...all of whom use NTL broadband?! We're all in the Manchester area too.

We can get onto the hotmail site fine, but when it comes to actually trying to sign in, that's when things go wrong.

Was just wondering if anything has caused this?

Cheers,

Pete.

Weird this then, because I've just spoken to my mum who's in Chester and she's having the same problems.

On NTL in Chester. Would that be on dialup by any chance.

Cheers for that. I'm sure it's an NTL thing, it has to be. Why would my account work in one place but not another?

The only way would be by Freedom as i can state categorically that there is no cable broadband in Chester. The reason i am checking is that freedom will be using a different connection completely from cable. And if she is on broadband then it must be by adsl so totaly differant system from you. So differant proxy servers.If you are in the wirrall then you might be on the same as me here in Warrington.

Sorry, when I said Chester - she's actually in Ellesmere Port! Close enough, just thought I'd generalise lol

If you are having problems with outlook Express then it is probably not a proxy issue.

smicer07 · 23-09-2005, 17:34

I'm in Ellesmere Port too!! And it's not working. Well, 2 of them are working, one isn't
