No problem with it here.

Maybe your proxy has a problem.

NTL intercept your requests for web pages and route them through a transparent web proxy cache. This caches pages that have been requested at a local level meaning that backbone traffic is reduced. They can be problematic and at times changing the proxy being used can enable you to access sites that you are having difficulty with. Robin Walker has an excellent site which gives all the details including haw to change proxies.

Seems to me http://www.ntlworld.com is currently having problems on some proxies, don't worry though it'll most probably be sorted out soon.

Sounds more like a routing issue somewhere if some can see it and others cannot.

doesnt work here

my guess is that the site IS down, and for those that see it they are getting the cached version, these proxies fool you quite easy.

That's possibly as well - but I did try it from one of my servers which connected direct ok - but that was pretty late on so it may have been working agin by then anyway. :)

It's all fine again now, i think it was just down for a bit.

Think you're right - I couldn't access it from work earlier and that was via an MCI leased line - all fine now though. Would have been nice for them to stick a note on the server status page would have been nice, but I guess you can't have everything.
