NTL-ebay connection

Options
I'm having the same problem with ebay that I had before Christmas. When I try to access the site, I get a page of gobbledegook! When it happened before, some of the forum members said it was only those who had NTL as server. Is anyone else having this problem at the moment?

    The ability of skinny old ladies to carry huge loads is phenomenal. An ant can carry one hundred times its own weight, but there is no known limit to the lifting power of the average tiny eighty-year-old Spanish peasant grandmother.

    I had exactly the same problem - some pages especially after you sign come up in 'chinese' - all over xmas. I finally found out that its down to certain ntl servers being overloaded ( i'm under bromley ). What I did last week was set my computer to link to a proxy server in Ashford and everythings been fine since.
