News Servers

babelfish · 11-01-2004, 13:00

Hi all,

Anyone in the Bromley area experiencing trouble with news servers? For the 3rd day running now, I've had a problem viewing and posting on newsgroups. I noticed earlier in the week that NTL were doing some work near Orpington, but for the last 2 days, I've been unable to view the service status page, so what use is that?!!

Cheers

Yes I've been having trouble too with newsgroups, missing multiparts, posts not uploading, etc. Bromley area too, must be a general problem.
