ntl users can use blue yonder proxy

stamp92 · 20-04-2005, 00:18

i had a look through this forum and searched all forums to make sure this issue hasnt been mentioned before and i couldnt find anything. apologies if i am treading old ground for some.

i use the proxies page from robin walker

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/robin.d...trancache.html

in the past i have tried using the blue yonder proxies but they dont work. no surprise since ntl and telewest were complete seperate companies.

i tried again today and im succesfully using those proxies even tho im on ntl

i can confirm the following worked fine with me. i assume all the others will as well. i guess ntl and telewest r beginning to streamline there proxies together.

cache-edi.cableinet.co.uk
cache-wol.cableinet.co.uk
cache-bas.cableinet.co.uk

has anyone noticed this proxy issue before. that ntl users can use blue yonder proxies?

Hi stamp92 and thanks for the info.

I can confirm that the following three do indeed work with Ntl.

cache-edi.cableinet.co.uk
cache-wol.cableinet.co.uk
cache-bas.cableinet.co.uk

The only problem is they don't seem to work in Firefox

they work perfectly fine in IE, and seem to be a lot faster than Ntl's IMO.

But Firefox just shows a times out dialog box.

I guess they have expanded the authorised ip range to include ntl, as part of the merger.

We've some adjacent IP blocks, perhaps the allowed address ranges are a little larger than they should be in places.

The swansea & cardiff proxies must be aswell then because there is a huge difference in browsing speed.

I really cant believe the difference this has made, & to be fair i had no problems with browsing speed to start with, just thought i would check, sure glad i have now though!!

If I don't put a port in it just defaults to a different NTL Proxy, perhaps thats the speed increase you are seeing ?

None of the Blueyonder Proxies worked for me...

cheers

Yeah, you are correct

Stupid old proxy then ;o

Can't get any of the Blueyonder proxies to kick in form me, tried both ports 8080 and 3128, just trying out of curisosity as I can't say my browsing is slow by any means.
