NTL access to sites issue

[Ace-T]

Hi all

Is anyone with an NTL/Virgin Media account having difficulties accessing the Internet Movie Database over the last couple of days? Cleared my cache etc so it is not my PC.

We have a T-Mobile account which has access so it is not the site being down that is the issue, just want to check it is an NTL problem before I send a snotty e-mail.

Cheers in advance.

Nope, just got in fine.

This could well be a very regional thing. NTL/Virgin run their connections through regional transparent proxy servers. Sometimes they play up and you lose access to a site. I've experienced this before with a forum and we tracked the issue through the forum's userbase on IRC.

That is indeed the case. Routed our traffic through a different proxy and all is now well. Though I've never know one of their caches go down for so long before now.
