Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley

Funny how when you call NTL they cant have a message on the CS number to tell you the problems. Was waiting nearly an hour for the guy to see, yes we know thank you!!

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley

AGH, I HATE NTL

Why is it that nothing they "resolve" actually ever stays resolved?!

No DNS again! This is pathetic. Hardly any websites seem to work. POP3 doesn't work. Webmail doesn't work. Nothing works!

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley

I rang the server support line to see if it was a known problem - number was engaged!

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley

I suspect the DNS isn't entirely the problem - I've added the DNS servers shown in this thread, and it still doesnt work!

However I'm now using a proxy server in the US somewhere and low an behold I can browse.

My guess is the transparent proxies NEED NTLs DNS to be working, so it doesn't matter what DNS you have set on your own PC.

Can anyone confirm this?
