Cannot browse on Unrestricted

[Mier]

I suddenly have a strange promblem when using the "unrestricted" apn. Any website returns a 403 Forbidden error in my webbrowser. (I sniffed my link with wireshark and it an error returned from the network, not my pc.)

If I switch to "internet" apn, it works fine.

Anyone else seeing this.

I'm currently in Centurion, Pretoria.

I have the same problem on a prepaid sim. Internet and InternetVPN APNs work 100% but Unrestricted won't even connect.

On my contract sim, all 3 APN's work fine.

I can connect to the network no problem, but cannot browse or connect to my corp via VPN.

I'm using a contract SIM.

Yes this started at around 2:28pm this afternoon. It is definitely isolated to unrestricted apn as I have switched over to "internet" and can browse again. Funny thing is when that happened I could still send email and RDP to my servers just not browse on the unrestricted apn. Also seems to be specific to Pretoria POP. Have notified Vodacom guys

Since 5pm, now having problems browsing on "internet" apn too. Have to disconnect, reconnect and then I can browse for about 1 minute thereafter pages appear in the browser as nothing more than white space.

5:18pm ... seems resolved (for now) ... have not switched back to unrestricted since 2:28pm anyone having any luck yet???

6:22pm ... Still getting intermittent errors on "internet" apn showing pages up in the browser as white space. A disconnect and reconnect helps this but still annoying.

7:12pm ... "unrestricted" apn seems to be back online, now able to browse. Intermittent problems still unabated as far as "internet" apn goes.

Hah ... spoke to soon. Doing the same thing on unrestricted so this problem seems to be across all 3 apn's. Connect, browse for 1-5 minutes and then DEAD. Not Good. Silence from Vodacom. FYI this started almost exactly as 2:28pm this afternoon.

I can get a 3G connection this morning but the browsing is giving problems still. Can browse for a few minutes and then pages show up as white space. I also terminate in Pretoria even though I am situated in Magaliesburg .... problems certainly seem erratic between users.
