I'm getting same problem and it seems to be affecting all nlt customers with astraweb (from other forums).

Connections to other news-servers is ok and connection to astraweb from other uk ISPs is also fine.

I've mailed astraweb support but I dont expect a fast reply. Their support sucks and its thanksgiving. NTL cusomer services just tell me their's no problems their end.

Maybe traffic is still being routed around the damaged trans-atlantic cable that seems to have caused NTL's dns crash although I believe the cable is now repaired. Wish someone would sort this one soon out though.

Anyone one else with any clues ?
