Does anyone ever read this part of the forum?

have u tried to change your proxy ?

Why should i have to mess around to keep on defining poroxy servers?
if ntl done their jobs proper i would not have to
i had to define a proxy server to just get access to sourceforge as it appears i could not access it in bromley area, now i have to add a proxy server because ntl messed up the bromley exchange.
This service is a joke

The only way you're going to get it to work for the time being is to specify a proxy. Sure, NTL should do things right first time, but this isn't the case at the moment.

Setting a proxy takes less than two minutes.

yer but its anoying as everytime i go through my work i have to change proxy and same when i go round my mates. I should have to not change anything, as this is stupid, been 4 days and still no news from ntl. oh wait that would mean they would have to get up of the desk and move 3 meters to the com system that anounces this, god what has the world come to at ntl

How's it going for everyone?

sdjl · 05-03-2006, 11:15

Seems to be working for me on my normal connection. It is a little laggy at times though.

paul11974 · 05-03-2006, 12:22

Sometimes it's ok for a while , then it is slow regardless of poxy proxy settings.

I spent 10 minutes on 0845 trying to stir them into action, but had to hang up.
The geographical numbers at saynoto0870 dont get through.
And I dont want to pay 4.45p/min to complain about their slow service!

I'm gonna call CS/Sales....

Yesterday it was soooo slow that it was useless

Today it's ok but not as fast as usual.

I dont know about the proxy changing stuff but I agree with neoapple, why should we have to mess about trying to get it to work when we pay ntl ÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…Â¡ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£35 a month for which should be a service that works

..rant over

NTL are not bothered about proxy issues, they know they are rubbish but we are stuck with them, the answer is always to swap to another one, they are not interested in fixing the underlying issue.

Proxies are so 1990's
