Manchester proxy - Page 2

I envy you grrrrr.

These proxies stop the ability of optimising dns lookups locally, been able to use site's error free, avoid proxy congestion and use http 1.1 to its full specification.

Could anyone suggest why NTL have proxy problems in manchester they keep trying to get them to work and they keep falling over.

It seems to be only the manc and baguley ones

I seem to remember many threads on the subject is it that hard to get proxies working

I have been having some problems recently aswell, constant server not found and time out problems

Florence · 06-11-2005, 20:58

pray for NTL's enlightenment on the proxy front and hope tehy find a better use for them than proxys.

What amazes me is that they have spent many thousands of pounds on this even getting a company to manage them and they still fall over.

First they dont have enough proxies then we are told the proxies have loads of capacity

Looks like a bit of bad luck NTL is having, or they have not got the capacity again

its not only in manc, just you guys make the loudest noise about it

The Manc proxies were shifted to a new IP range not that long ago. I assumed it was becuase the IP address for manc1 was the one most commonly given out as a quick fix by techs.
Odd that they turned the whole shebang off when only one seems to be having problems, unless they're doing some sort of testing.

They can leave them off for me sell them to AOL or some other company.

We do well tehm perhaps the others who are havingproxy problems should join and complaint then perhaps NTL will perhaps do something about them.

Now I need some noise from fellow leics user's to get leics proxies turned off

Is anyone on the Manc area having problems accessing the paypal login page with the proxies turned off?

IanUK · 08-11-2005, 13:52

I gave up moaning about the crappy things, they certainly know they are bad here, but they are still switched on

No problems at all infact all pages open much quicker without the proxies.

What i find strange is when we debated the proxy issues problems we turned into targets for certain NTL workers on this site.

In fact it was said the proxies are so good we would not realise how good they are because it would be seamless surfing

Now the proxies are off not a sign of anyone explaining it

Ever get the feeling the argument is a bit one sided

I have received a statement from ntl this afternoon regarding the Manchester proxies currently being switched off, ntl networks state:-

"After a recent upgrade to the routers we identified that there was a degration in the performance of the caching. Investigations are underway as to why the performance degraded. In the meantime to ensure that customers were not adversely affected the web caching was switched off. This is a temporarily matter while investigations continue."

LOL, what about us Poplar proxy users, we are 'adversely affected' on a daily basis !

Sorry I couldn't resist
