No-ntl will just find the cheapiest/nastiest workaround they can, leaving wage paying customers with email problems for another year.

This is disgraceful !!!
All their servers deserve to be set alight and burned to the ground as they are as useful as a chocolate tea pot.

Re: [Merged] ntl Email Issues

A new e mail incoming faults message, timed at 13.16 has just appeared on the ntl Server Status web page. Add this to the outgoing faults message that has been there for three days!
I wonder what I'm paying good money for.

Hehehe - if you put icing on a mouldy cake it's still a mouldy cake. Just looks pretty. Lovely, pretty server status page - shame none of the processes that result in it not being updated or updated inaccurately/incompletely have changed...

Re: ntl email 'complex' failure

TITSUP =

1) Think It's Totally Shagged. Usual Problem
2) This is Trashy Service. Users protest.

Any more ideas as to what TITSUP could be the acronym for ?
