Hi,

NTL browsing at the minute is just about non existent. Not sure if it's my local proxy so if anybody that has a half decent connection wouldn't mind doing a search for some other ntl proxies I can try them. Google is barely working it's so slow.

Cheers

Turn off your proxy settings if you think it's the proxy, it will at least tell you if the proxy is at fault.

I was not using a defined proxy - managed to crawl to a page that had a huge list of proxy servers. Entered one in Watford (im in Bedford) and now it's lightning quick again.

Thanks anyway

If you switch your proxy off you'll be directed to your closest one. Choose one of the following and set the port to 8080

So they are catching packets destined for port 80 (and probably 443).. not nice!

Figment

Cardiff ones are pretty good too


Don't let on I told you though, don't want everyone switching to Cardiff, or it'll overload.

P1Fanatic

The correct setting is Tools --> Internet Options --> Connections --> LAN Settings --> Advanced --> Then enter one of the listed NTL proxies for http. Anything other than http/port 80 is pointless as thats all they are used for.

Might want to set an exception for it not to use proxy for lan range e.g. 192.168.*
