End of NTL?

    Today I couldn't ftp to my webspace because the upload.ntlworld.ie server no longer existed and had to be changed to upload.upc.ie. Is that the end of NTL or are there vestiges of it lingering elsewhere?

    If I do a reverse DNS lookup on my current IP address it resolves to nnn-nnn-nnnnnn.ntlworld.ie.

    Were ntl doing cable broadband for long before UPC bought them?

    Strange that, as ntlworld.ie has been removed by the iedr so those reverse dns lookups resolve to invalid hostnames. Must be just a delay in the upc dns updates propagating.

    It's been like that for ages, several months at least. It's only the reverse lookups that succeed though, also on Google's DNS servers, but a lookup of the hostname fails. Odd.

    Mind you, UPC are particularly sloppy when it comes to reverse DNS lookups .. if you traceroute through their network not one router shows up with a hostname.
