Bad form for replying to my own post but looking at some of the
comments attached to that article seemed to agree that it was buggered
for most of the day yesterday from the morning:
Im in Sheffield and it was not working ALL DAY yesterday.
I should clarify, the 3/3.5G connection was working but their
transparent proxy just kept spitting out 502 errors so I couldnt use
the damn browser
This seems to back up what I was getting but on GPRS (iPhone doesnt
do 3G and T-Mobile doesnt do EDGE so I have to fall back on GPRS when
outside of WiFi zones) as the GPRS blue box came up next to the
mobile network provider name but nothing seemed to actually work.
After a few seconds the iPhone would return cannot find server.
Normally if theres a problem with GPRS the iPhone returns a generic
Cannot activate EDGE error so GPRS was working, but something was
buggered further down the line.
