I seem to be unable to connect to irc servers from the ordinary internet apn - I assume it is due to ping blocking, but not really sure, anyways is anyone else successfully using irc with 3G on the internet apn?

Well I am still unable to use irc - I cannot attach to any of the irc servers that I try, and I have also tried from the 'internetVPN' apn - still no luck...
Other than the irc problem, I am quite impressed with Vodacom's 3G, and Skype2Skype is really good as well - I haven't tried Skypeout yet though, but I can say that 3G whoops iBurst's ass with reliability and Skype...hmmm I could ramble on for ages, perhaps I should write a blog about it?
Ok, back on topic now, is anyone successfully using irc on 3G?

well, i've been able to get on irc via gprs using the internet apn - don't think there should be much difference with 3G?
haven't been on for the last couple days, though...

Hey IC
Do me a favour could you post some local and international pings. I am battleing with skype on 3G due to high, erratic pings although everything otherwise works pretty peachy. I am connecting through a V800 on usb so maybe that adding some latency compared to a data card??

If you want, I can add hostnames/IP addresses to my SmokePing config, and I will then publish the .png files on imageshack.us [I'm too lazy to do the pinging myselfDaveogg said:
and I prefer looking at latency over time rather than what it might be right now].BTW I have had good quality Skype2Skype [local ZA though] 3-way conference calls on 3G [so far]...
