    Hi anyone else having trouble accesing the internet using the Vodafone ISP APN? Everything was working fine up until yesterday eveing, but now when a connection is established, only about 1 in ten attempts will connect to a website.
    I thought it may have been a problem with the HTC Tytn i was using (even though i was connecting perfectly until yesterday evening), page would load in Pocket Internet explorer try and reload the page or go to another website and it would just ime out. I stuck my SIM back in my Nokia N90 but the problem is happening as well there with Opera, e.g. make a connection to Vodafone ISP APN, bbc mobile loads up, try and access the news link, it will eventually time out, try and access another site, same thing happens.

    Don't want to get onto Vodafone at the moment as both handsets are not supported by Vodafone so i won't get anywhere with them. I know all settings are correct as i have been using the same APN on both handsets with no problems previously.

    Having no such problems,using it as we speak writing this thread,mind you i do sometimes get connection time outs when connecting to boards.ie or adverts.ie but i thinks it due to their servers.Try switching to normal gprs and see what happens might be a 3g problem.

    Yeh the connection appears to be a hell of a lot more stable if i force the Tytn to use GPRS only and disable 3G alltogether. Think i'll dig out my old Sonyericsson V800 and see how stable the 3g connection is on that.

    ok its definitely not a problem with the handsets, there seems to be a problem with 3G and the isp.vodafone.ie APN. Popped my SIM back into my Sonyericsson V800. Set up a bluetooth connection between the Tytn and V800(using the V800 as a 3g modem) and first couple of links i click on work fine but then the same problem occurs - pages then stop loading after a minute or 2 (connection does not drop and again still have a full 3g signal). At least i have something to work on with Vodafone when i call them tomorrow.

    Ha - I've been having exactly the same problem for the last day or two. Takes two or three attempts to connect and when I leave the connection online I find it drops itself after about 10 minutes.

    Definately a problem with Voda. Will give them a call.
