Unable to access Opera Mail on MTN's network

[ginggs]

Is anyone else able to go to http://www.operamail.com/ on MTN's network?
When I try, the page times out, but I have no problems accessing the site from other networks.

Same problem with www.mail.com
Page opens but when you try to log in, it times out.

This is on 'internet' APN

If you however change your APN to 'MyMTN', everthing works fine.

Try it

IP is most likely on a SPAM LIST, hence mail sites dont work.

You are right ECape, it works with 'MyMTN' APN. I checked ipconfig and got the address of the proxy from dnsstuff.
So what is the solution, wait for the 'internet' APN to be fixed or switch to 'MyMTN' APN?
What are the differences between them, and when should we use one instead of the other?

ip address allocation , dns server address allocation and default gateway address allocation are all different.
whether the routing goes over different links is another story.

What do you use Opera Mail for considering it offers so little?

I don't, but that's not the point, as Ecape pointed out above, the problem isn't limited to Opera Mail's site.

 

[ginggs]

Still broken.

Now working again

Thanks ECape, I haven't had a chance to confirm this yet, my pre-paid data bundle just disappeared yesterday evening without warning.

What was the problem with accessing those websites?
Does it have anything to do with other sites that are being reported as blocked on MTN?
MTN is blocking web site and MTN censorship.
