Question No proxy server

You appear to be an ntl Customer Your IP address 86.0.XXX.XXX You do not appear to be using a Proxy Server

Info above is from the connection tab. This is the first time I've seen this without the proxy server, is this good?

Thanks for the prompt reply the speed test is marginally better than usual for a Saturday evening just wondering why.

1st 512K took 406 ms = 1261.1 KB/sec, approx 10391 Kbps, 10.15 Mbps
2nd 512K took 422 ms = 1213.3 KB/sec, approx 9998 Kbps, 9.76 Mbps
3rd 512K took 422 ms = 1213.3 KB/sec, approx 9998 Kbps, 9.76 Mbps
4th 512K took 438 ms = 1169 KB/sec, approx 9633 Kbps, 9.41 Mbps

proxies on NTL are 'transparent', so you may, or not, realise you have one

what does the 'connection' link in the forum toolbar report?

mine says

You appear to be an ntl Customer
Your IP address **
You do not appear to be using a Proxy Server

but I'm served by Nottingham, and proxies have been 'off' for a while, here

Re: No proxy server

The Nottingham proxies have been turned off for quite a few months now. I hope they never see the light of day again.

This is indeed good news. Ntl's proxys only affected port 80 traffic but what a difference it makes not having them switched on.

Long may it stay this way.
