Anyone else on NTL and having problems today?
I got a message saying there's a general problem browsing web-sites.
This site is ok; but sites like e-bay etc are a nightmare at the moment.

I dread to think how much that would cost; I bet it isn't free.
My year contract is up with them at the end of the month so I'm going to switch to someone else then.

NTL Broadband internet customers across the whole country may currently be experiencing problems in browsing to web sites. NTL is aware of this issue and working to identify and resolve the cause as quickly as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused.
Update 21:00 - Issues appear to have been caused by a failure due to overload of NTL's DNS servers.
These servers are now returning to normal levels and investigation of the cause of the overload is under way.
Browsing is slowly returning to normal, however it is unlikely that services will be fault free until morning of 7/6/06
From the NTL Page in case you were interested Yeovil.

They've been pretty good, only problems I had were getting it to work in the first place, but that was BT's fault with the line (and Plusnet sorted it all out for me).
24 hour customer service too, and you can get a quick response for support online or on the phone.
I think for £21 you get the best package with landline rental thrown into the deal now.

Me and my broadband aren't getting on at the moment... The BT software keeps figting with my Microsoft wireless stuff so connection keeps dropping. Unfortunately, there seems to be no way of uninstalling the Wireless COnnection Manager.
Also, its slow. Seeing as i was supposedly upgraded to 8Mb last week, my speed test shows a speed of 0.950 mbit/s

Sometimes the phoneline can't handle anymore, or it takes a while for them to sort out the speed increase making it temperamental.
DB - Wireless software does my head in, and I've had similar problems to you, but letting the cards software to run, but using windows to actually configure the software sorted mine out.
