DefaultCan't access Google on 3MBB

I have to say , having been using 3 Mobile BB since 1st of this month as my sole connection , it has held up far better than I anticipated (or feared !)

OK , its not perfect , but it seems to work 90% of the time - I feel this is pretty good going TBH , T-mobiles offering is a bit better in terms of consistancy , but slower in speed , and has a "filter" that filters out anything that is designated for "over 18's" ... which , in reality is pretty much the whole internet seemingly in T-mobiles eyes .... Not found any of the secret locations where Vodafone offer 3G coverage - but I watched a guy at work try to install his e220 on hi Vista laptop (resulting in an endless "install" cycle ) - I get the impression mobile BB is generally a flaky product , whatever flavour you pick ....... But anyway , I digress ....

Back to the Problem , since late last night , I cannot access Google search - doesn't sound like a big deal , but it really has opened my eyes to how much I actually USE it !! , pretty much everything I do on t'nternet begins with chucking a term into the search bar on Safari - which now returns an "unable to open page" error - at first I thought Google itself had gone down , but a quick go on my Phones confirmed this was not the case ! - it seems accessing Google via 3 is the problem

Anyone else having problems ?

See this is where you need a VPN to a computer with a real Internet connection. Mobile broadband just cannot be relied upon because the mobile operators interfere too much with the data stream.

For example, randomly Vodafone Content Control breaks and reapplies itself to all Vodafone accounts until it is fixed as a precaution. That means being able to access about 6 websites, lol.

Then you've got the image compression that makes every website look like it's being displayed on a laptop from the 90s.

It wont do!
