Ah yes it's that time of the day and week again when NTL goes a bit wobbly, the NTLhell forums generally provide all the info you need when this happens along with other people to grumble with.

Oooohhh... so there is a problem, been wondering since i installed SP2 this afternoon, though i broke me pc :D

I'm getting issues getting to places like google and autotrader.

Having problems browsing some websites here.

Think this might be the reason why I'm unable to play EA games via XBOX Live on my 360. Keeps telling me the EA server is unavailable.
