    Yeah, me too. Posted about it earlier. Gone since this morning as it was working last night.

    I rang NTL this afternoon and the bloke told me it was a problem at my end. I told him everyone who wasn't using NTL could get these sites and if I went to dial-up with Eircom I could get them.

    He still tried to tell me it was my problem. Apparently 'second level' support will ring me tomorrow.

    Please ring them yourselves though. The more people that complain about it the more they'll have to do something.

    The useless twats.

    Lines are closed now but an e-mail to customer.support@upc.ie is a good start.

    Regards

    Hi Folks,

    I 've been dipping in and out of Boards.ie for a while now. I am so cross that my NTL broadband is giving me problems with some sites. I've had temp problems accessing some sites in the past (Rapidshare etc) but now I cannot browse Blogger at all for 2 days.


    So Thanks Nava for the NTL customer support link. I mailed them and received a standardised reply

    'Thank you for your e-mail sent to the UPC Customer Support Team.
    This is an automated response. Your query has been given a unique tracking number for your reference'

    There is no doubt that blogger is unavailable through NTL. If you use a proxy then its possible to get Blogger.com so there's no way I have a computer problem..

    I use blogger alot - can anyone tell me why the NTL broadband service wont let me access this service (without taking the proxy route) ??

    Thanks

    Blogspot still not working on NTL - works on every other service.
    There are several other sites not working either.
    Everyone needs to get onto tech support about this or it will never be fixed!!

    My blogspot (blogger) blog has been blocked for the past few days as well, I'm on NTL cable.

    I can see www.blogger.com and even my dashboard, but as soon as I go to any *.blogspot.com page it gives a blank or error page.

    So, the problem is definitely at the NTL end.

    NTL here too, no blogspot

    And i tried it from work today which was fine. You can still ping the blog server it just the pages cant be reached.

    Its annoying as it looks like ntl 'support' wont even acknowledge the problem

    Found this page http://tools.rosinstrument.com/proxy/ If you go to the very bottom you can enter a url to open via its proxy ( its v slow but it proves it works ). I tried some blogspots and I can get them. Theres probably better, faster proxies around if ye look around.

    Anyone getting in touch with ntl might want to tell them this test to show its not your end...
