No updates yet, I imagine this will take weeks, if not months - EBuyer and Betanews took almost a year to fix.

Sadly this is becoming a regular occurance with these proxies, the actions of one muppet somewhere causes a website/company to ban the ip range - thereby banning thousands of people instead of the one or handful actually involved.

We see a similar thing with Rapidshare, whereby the Proxy address gets banned due to 'too much activity'.

Its only going to get worse..
If you are an NTL customer then parts of the web are slowly becoming no go areas for you - Rapidshare, the webs largest filesharing site is virtually unusable, and now steampowered, the worlds largest FPS...worrying isn't it

Hi there, i'm on the Luton NTL proxy here in Bedford, and am too being blocked from steampowered.com and sub-domains.
Thanks, FiRe.

I can confirm that www.steampowered.com is not accpetable from Luton. Also shacknews.com also not working. Phoned CS Tech support and they tried at their end - they got the front screen up and one popup that said page not displayed.

There are other message on the forums reporting problems accessing www.steampowered.com.

I've tried using cosh-cache-4.server.ntli.net:8080, and it works, thankfully

dave.molloy · 21-09-2005, 11:57

Yup, cosh-cache-4.server.ntli.net works fine.

Phoned up NTL again. 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

Anyone got a proxy for the south east that works properly for steampowered website?

Cheers

h,mm am on the nrth-cache-1.server.ntli.net. 1 and I dont have a single problem getting on the steampowered.com site

IanUK · 22-09-2005, 21:20

That proxy is fine here too, but many are not.

A moderator at steampowered asked Valve a day ago about them blocking NTL, today they posted saying they are categorically NOT blocking NTL users.

The ball is back in NTL's court...

I just wish they would fix or get rid of these proxies, they are crap.
Shacknews.com still broken here too.

Not funny any more...

DocDutch · 22-09-2005, 21:50

Ian...am on the nrth-cache-1.server.ntli.net proxy and I dont have any probs even getting on Shacknews

so try that 1 perhaps...okay opened fine in all browsers
