i have only once or twice in 3 years of ntl needed to change my ie proxy settings, general rule is zilch in that setting

since the major outages and poor service around 2 weeks ago iv had no choice but to continually change this setting, it seems there are major routing issues especially to international destinations and back to here in the uk,
Im beggining to wonder if some kind of port throttling is being tested, but a couple of friends in austarlia is pinging major uk websites and getting very poor results, and my pinging some au places also does the same
to US it varies, it can be ok then its suddenly appalling or completely lost
