( confused in brighouse )

I get access on orange broadband in the house, and not on the o2 dongle. it is not a dongle issue as i can sill access anything else i like, it is only this site that has the access problems.

I'm still having probs, it all began after the recent shutdown of the site by Bat a while back.
I am using a brand new laptop just bought last saturday so my computer aint the issue

I downloaded firefox this morning while attatched to a wirless broadband landline, now i have conected (after a few attempts and the usual messages about not displaying the page) How long it will last though who knows!

This is my first connection on o2 dongle! So if you don't seem me again for a while you will know why

these problems do all seem to stem from the recent site upgrade.

Bat gave me the inside deal on hoiw to fix my PC and so that goes onto site now every time, no idea why

Laptops pot luck.
Tonight I was having trouble with my router and so put a different one on and bingo laptop connects to site now

Bat, are you out there?
What's the deal good buddy

well i got a new 3 dongle today, and so far so good! I sent the o2 one back, I like o2 we all have o2 phone contracts and it never lets me down, but the mobile donggly interweby thingy is shite (excuse my french)

well i am back on line with 3 mobile, but couldn't get on with O2 mobile, work that one out

maybe we could do a service provider poll and an access problems poll and see if there is any conection (pardon the pun)

I have an Orange Dongle on a laptop, I cannot use internet explorer as it works but is far far to slow, have tried firefox but could not get used to using it, have almost always used Opera, but recently I have been having problems getting on to the site, most times "cannot connect to remote server" even though I am already logged on to Yahoo and others, sometimes repeat trying works others it does not, the most effective work round is to open another tab and while that is loading stab the forum and most times that works but not every time, seems to me that with these dongles if you make no key strokes for a few seconds, communication is halted for a short while, and it seems to take a second or two to re establish connection, but I could be wrong, maybe all systems work this way, I have no land line so cannot compare, Rick

As Orange is the co-owner of the 900MHz spectrum with O2, I have a feeling they may be in the 'same bed' regarding the provision of internet services

Pete, as this problem is isolated to Orange (or one of its partners), it has to be their problem.

Orange are renown for for having problems (see here)... I would like to be in the position to help but, I have no control over their bad service
