Gaming impossible in Lancashire!

[badboybubby]

Logged 2 support calls now and i'm still not able to game at all.

34.99 broadband customer for 5+ years and NTL are letting me down.

I have to **** about about with proxies every 5 mins.

All i want to do is play my games with a low ping, no packet loss and browse the internet with no problems.

Been an NTL customer for 9 years.

As of Monday they dont get ONE PENNY MORE from me.

That includes the TV, Phone the lot. This is a loss of 75 quid a month to NTL

BYE BYE NTL

Your service was average to say the least and in the days of business differentiation you just werent good enough....

What part of Lancashire?

Proxies do not affect gaming...?

I wonder if are having the same problem as me, Try runnning WinMTR to your favourite server and see if there's a routing problem.

you can get it here http://winmtr.sourceforge.net/

NTL seem to be routing me everywhere. I use to have only 6 hops to this server. I now got 9 within NTL. Also enta & telehouse have bad responses too.
