NTL/AOL Problems viewing Regular viewed websites?

[DrAwesome]

I tried to access a website this evening SVP to order a few blank disk & a new dvdr writer, now getting to the website front page is fine until i started to click on the products link & recieved (after a few mins of the browser trying to load the page) server not found anyway i emailed SVP to let them know of the problem...

the last time i looked at this web site was Monday night this week.

i have just recieved a very quick reply from SVP

Hi,

Thank you for your email.

We've had reports that NTL/AOL customers are experiencing problems viewing our website. Please contact your ISP for more details.

I wonder if anyone else is experiencing any problems loading/viewing any other websites they frequently visit?

No problems viewing it here,
but then i dont use NTL's DNS, although I am currently using the default proxies for Winnersh.

I haven't heard of any problems using the site...

If you are using an ntl connection, have you tried changing proxy? if so does it make a difference?

No problems here in Warrington. Had a good look around the site, All seems ok.

You might not use them, but the caches do when fetching the pages for you. This constant blaming of ntl dns is a bit of a pointless red herring. I have tested them for every problem in the last two months where people blame "ntl's dns" and never found a single error.

I have the same problem accessing the website you mention. 'Server not found'. I also get the same when trying to access Suprnova but i can get around that by going through this way and getting to the news page. The unfortunate thing is I cant get to this page and cannot find another way around it. I can do it from any other PC. Just not from here on NTL.
Baffling me.

Anyone got any suggestions.

BTW, tried all the links with IE and Mozilla. Both give the same result.

Cheers

I dont as rule use the NTL proxies either,
the browser I use allows easy switching of proxies from a list,
and for that page I made sure I used an NTL proxy.
I would have also used NTL's DNS, but that was more involved and I didnt have the time to change over.
