View Full Version : Anyone on NTL?
Bah,
Stupid NTL is playing up at the moment.
Two days ago it was re-directing certain pages i visited to another Domain hositing site. On that site it had Text saying that if you were on NTL you would have been re-directed here because NTL know about a problem that they should have fixed. And that i should change ISP.
And last night no bloody web pages were working.
The connection is there because i am still connected and i can still play neocron and download via Bit Torrents.
But its just annoying.
Anyone else having similar problems?
meh net si b0rked too :)
Dunno why. Stoopid NTL :/
Fix it j00 munkehs... it's all KKs fault!!!!!!11111111111
erm heheh :)
huge DOS attacks on all ISP's yesterday, methinks it was BT that made em as their ISP's wernt effected . . .
I did a speed test of my connection last night and it said that my ISP was NTL :eek:
Funny thing is that Im on Virgin.net

OMG
H4X
NTL taking over the world?
Yeah my NTL was borked from about 5:30 last night through to about 7:30 (and it was still ropey for the rest of the evening) at first I thought it was my gateway server
Apparently there was a massive DOS attack going on

you did well it was still mostly wrecked at 12pm last night
NTL are full of shit.
I don't know what they broke this time but it wasn't just DNS. I don't even use their DNS servers and I couldn't browse anything. I could run all other apps but not web.
IMO they fecked their transparent proxies AGAIN!!!
They've done it a few times before but never this badly.
The up-side was that with everyone offline DC was pushing the line faster than I'd ever seen before.
At about 2AM my CM lost connection for about half an hour. I think this was them drying the coffee out of whatever they'd poured it into. This also implies it wasn't DNS.
Lying, incompetant, shite-chewers.
My Bit Torrents were peaking at 72kbps download which was great. I am on 600k connection.
But like you the web wasn't working for shit.
I also forgot to say that everything died about 2am for me, in the middle of me blasting a Warbot.
I couldn't get back on at all and haven't been back on since as i am at work :(
I'm sure i'll log back on and my ass will be dead
from what i read, the cable in the english channel broke somewhere in the water, on the french side, so there have been "some" problems.
more information from ISP Review (http://www.ispreview.co.uk)
Following on from an earlier news item regarding Telewest's service outage; it now appears as if a major DNS/Routing failure between the USA and UK/EU has caused multiple ISPs to suffer connectivity and other service difficulties.
There's currently a lot of speculation regarding the cause, although several ISPs have pointed the finger towards a damaged undersea transatlantic cable. While the main problems have been resolved, many ISPs may continue to feel the after effects.
The TAT-14 (640Gbps) line has been highlighted as a potential source for the problems. Hopefully most ISPs should now be returning to normal operation, although some e-mails and content aspects may still be catching up.
It remains to be seen how the problems occurred in the first place.

I bet it was those dastardly asylum seekers. 8|
Seriously - Even NTL aren't crap enough to route transatlantic traffic into Europe surely? Why not send it via Borneo while they are at it?
/edit - BiteMe - that's more likely but still doesn't make any sense.
1) I could saturate my line direct to the states no probs
2) UK sites, even those inside NTL's own network, were down
3) NTL have had brown-outs very like this black-out but less serious before which have been traced to incompetence inside their system.
Until I see evidence otherwise (that isn't provably bollox) it all looks like NTL being a bunch of morons to me.
This might have something to do with the problems:
(it's in german, though you might want to pipe it through babelfish *he he*)
