Re: [Merged]-Major connection issues!

Can I ask a stupid newbie question?

How am I supposed to search the forum if Google isn't working?

Hey, that seems to work!

Is there an easier way to set that up, as these "slow browsing" days seem to be becoming more frequent. Perhaps a bit of software that pings various proxies, and lets you choose one that actually works?

Re: [Merged]-Major connection issues!

I assume by your name that you live in prenton. I also live very close to prenton and my area is actually classed as prenton but I am only now getting the problems. This is starting to get silly now this is the 3rd time this has happened to me on ntl in the past month or so.
