Re: proxy server
I am not an expert at this but I would say if it uses http to connect to any games servers then it will go through the proxy selected in the browser..
Your proxy is only for the web browsing really so only works on whats passing through port 8080..
Stu I am sure will correct me if I am wrong.....

I should speak to them and ask why its happened after all you pay to be able to use it online and if its laggy then you can't.

Re: proxy server
Time NTL turned all proxies off and turned the machines to something more usefull for the company and customers. Proxies are not usefull to customers..

Re: proxy server
I would suggest that poster may be on an unbalanced uBR - proxies are completely irrelevant to online gaming.
