I have recently changed my connection to a ADSL service. 
Everything worked perfectly, except for Apolyton, that seemed to never load itself.
Strangely, Apolyton loaded perfectly with my previous analogical connection (from which I write these lines)
after a pair of days asking my ISP and proving multiple solutions, I discovered the problem:
Proxy Servers
Many Internet Service Providers (like AOL) use proxy servers with its ADSL lines. These ISP make extensive use of proxy serves, routing users through various proxy servers according to their own proprietary scheme. Proxy servers also cache pages and will check to see if a page is in the cache before sending the request for a page on to the server. That creates the first problem, because the proxy cache may send to the user an old version of the page without actualize the last posting.
A second problem (for me, at least):
When you try to access the restricted page, some large ISPs (such as AOL) send your request through the proxy server, which assigns a different IP address to your computer. The server that stores the page you are trying to reach sees only the address of the proxy server, which does not match the address used in the authentication process. As a result, you are no longer recognized as a Apolyton user and you cannot access the Web-authenticated page.
I think that this problems not only prevents me acceding to Apolyton, but that in addition is a possible cause of the overloading that Apolyton is suffering last time (In addition with the massive amount of users
).
The solution to that problems is to declare the page "non-cacheable" so that proxy cannot capture it. I have sent the solution to DanQ, but he has indicated to me comprehensibly that He cannot change the configuration of the Apolyton's web server (Apache) because of a problem of a single user.
So now I'm asking the ADSL users of Apolyton that passes through a proxy server:
Are you suffering some of the problems that I'm talking about?
Thanks for your attention
PS: I apologize for my poor english

I do not have any problems though, and I have had the connection for one and a half year now.
