Its poor here in Oxford too, one minute you can get a page then you can't its exactly the same as it was a few weeks ago but it is only today since the last time it has been perfect.

Re: Major connection issues! 6/6/06

absolutely pathetic here, again ... i can't believe the problems NTL have been having...

I'm getting a bit annoyed, and I'm not easily annoyed at Internet connection troubles... I wish they'd sort it out though, this is way too common a occurance when paying as much as we do for 10mbit...

Re: Major connection issues! 6/6/06

Well this is annoying me now. I use MS messenger a LOT in the evenings and it just refuses to connect everything else works fine apart from what I want - swap with someone who wants websites working

Unreliable, yet again

Is anyone else sick to death of this ridiculous poor service that we pay for?? I come back from work today, desperately needing my broadband connection to book flights and arrange a holiday with three other couples on msn to ensure we all agree with the choices of villa etc and what do I find? This must be at least the 15th time in the past few months that I am unable to access certain essential sites? What are they doing and why am I paying £25 a month for it? I fail to understand why they can't be anywhere near as reliable as their competitors. I see people saying there are ways to get around it but I can't get them to work. We get nothing achieved by ringing the technical help that now they have the cheek to charge for and I am now looking for other cable providors of cable broadband with a view to cancelling in the next few days (I'm in the Lower Earley, Reading area if anyone can advise better providors that i can use?)

I needed to get this off my chest and feel (very slightly) better now.

NTL, pull your finger out before you lose even more customers.

Re: Major connection issues! 6/6/06

Typical, I wake up this morning to find a shiney new 4meg connection waiting for me, I get home from work to find out its all gone south... Odd that in a time of crisis, this site is one of the 2% that actually works!! Damn you NTL
