I think your topic may have a typo in it.. or I am missing the boat. Assuming you cant log in perhaps it has something to do with ssl?

Lately I have switched to using the internetvpn APN due to too many issues with getting sites to work with the internet APN.
Also, when you say only on 3G, do you mean it works using GPRS|EDGE?

I have not been able to log into Digg for a couple of days now either, I'll try changing the APN see what happens.
EDIT:
Tried the vlive APN and still the same, I'm not gonna bother with the internetvpn.

You're right its not a browser issue, as i tried IE7 as well, it did the same.
Although chaging to internetvpn solved the problem, i now discovered a new problem with the APN...
I got multiple "Server not found. The web page cannot be displayed" errors, something that has never happened before while. I had to disconnect and reconnect to get it right, still on internetvpn APN. Gonna see how it goes.
[EDIT]: Note that it happened while i was idle for a while. It didnt happen before while i was on the internet APN.

@v3g, did the CEO of AfriNIC ever get back to you?

OK, can you test Digg on the internet apn again?
Can someone 100% confirm if you could log into Digg before on the internet apn, and when it stopped working.
It was one of those cases where malformed HTML got the caching engines confused, so we've send the info through to Digg. In the meantime, we've put a workaround in.
So, I'm trying to determine if or when their site changed.

The internet apn get's all the fancy engines to improve performance, security, world hunger, etc.
But these engines expect external servers to behave in an expected manner, including formatting protocols correctly. If they see anomalies, they get very edgy (suspecting malicious behaviour) and will dump the session. This is out and out to protect the user.
In this case, logging into digg triggered the panic attack.
We've now bypassed digg and alerted their webmasters.
