Re: [Merged]-Major connection issues!
I doubt if they would notice a problem if it came up and smacked them in the head, I have had problems for the last 4 weeks, I have 10mb, I may as well have a 56k dial up for what use it is, I have had an engineer out who swapped my modem for a 250 but with all the loss of service I haven't really been able to check if it is working properly, am really struggling to find many sites working, I am in RG1

Bear in mind it now costs you money to do this - a nice little earner in the event of regular weekly faults with the BB backbone!

Re: [Merged]-Major connection issues!
It is a nationwide browsing problem apparently and NTL does not have a clue about the cause...

Re: [Merged]-Major connection issues!
Ahhhhh just in from work... nice cuppa, time to catch up with news on BBC while the kids are watching The Simpsons, and here we go ... normal (S*i*e) service resumed by NTL.

Wonderful.

£24.99 a month for this level of service? Be better off with a cheap dial-up service, or even tight string between two bean cans.

Re: [Merged]-Major connection issues!
NTL are poor, how can the whole of the UK have this problem?

Re: [Merged]-Major connection issues!
This is probably a stupid question but:

Why doesn't each UBR do DNS too?

Re: [Merged]-Major connection issues!
That would be too sensible for NTL, after all we don't exactly get a quality service even when everying is working FINE, I think they only have 2 DNS servers running on an old 286 in the back of someones garden.......

Re: [Merged]-Major connection issues!
I seem to be able to browse webpages ok - but can't connect to Microsoft messenger. I take it it's tied in with the same problems?

I was about to let messenger repair something itself (something to do with a gateway) but I won't let it do anything if its an NTL problem.

Re: [Merged]-Major connection issues!
Was OK for a few minutes, now gone back to sh*te.

It's about time we got an official apology for the poor service, and explanation of exactly what's gone wrong, exactly what they are doing / have done to fix it and when.

Think you will wait a long time for an apology from NTL to be honest.
They made a mistake with my DB and said they would post me an apology letter ......hence to say i am still waiting for that 3 months later
