This is normal, hence why they were voted the worse news provider in a

Just wondered if it it just me, but NTL this week has been poor on the
news
service. It post messages that subsequently are 'sent items' but they
never
appear on the newsgroup and sometimes just will not download at all..

Has any other NTL user suffered same ?

Sounds like normal NTL news service to me
