NTL Newgroup Connection

Hi,

I am getting the following error message when I try to conect to the
newsgroups via NTL Broadband. Is this a problem at my end or NTL?

It has happened for months but I am starting to get irritated by it...i can
bearly get on now during the day.

It's always been like that, try:

text.news.ntlworld.com
text.news.virgin.net
news.ntlworld.com
news.virgin.net
news.which.net
news.cache.cable.ntlworld.com
news.cache.ntlworld.com
newscache.cable.ntlworld.com

The two text ones are normally best, but they've ALL been playing up for the
last 2 days.

FWIW news.cache.cable.ntlworld.com seems to be working best today - except
that it keeps marking random old messages as 'unread'.
