Meteor EDGE (Data addon) not working today?

    Hi,
    I've had the Meteor unlimited (10G) data addon working fine since my last billing date.
    At 11am this morning, the phone (Sony Ericsson K550i) crashed while
    trying to retrieve an RSS feed. I had to restart it by removing the battery.

    Anyway, just trying to see if anyone else had a problem with it today,
    or more specifically can say "it's working fine for me".
    Need to find out if it's me or the network, 'cos I'm sick of being on hold.

    The service hasn't worked for me since except that the first request made
    after power cycling the phone has worked twice.
    I've been on and off to Meteor support all afternoon, and for the first
    time in two years found them less than helpful. Two of the three indivuals
    I spoke to were personally as helpful as could be, but there seemed no continuity in the record of what my problem was and people were telling me about the second SIM I got with my datacard, and finally that if I could access the WAP menu it wasn't their problem and what plan was I on as
    maybe I didn't really have the service.
    Looks like it's still not considered a mainstream product.
    The onhold system hung up on my twice today as well, so
    maybe they're having internal issues.

    EDIT: worked again the following day, no changes my end. Go figure.

    I edited yesterday so as not to bump the thread when it came back,
    but it's gone again today and has been on and off since last night.
    Anyone else on the package and experiencing this? I'm in Meath.

    I set up the Meteor WAP CSD as a secondary account,
    as the phone keeps asking for one. It's a dialup 085 number.
    Don't do that! It's charged for. Luckily it's almost immediately
    visible on Meteor's site so it didn't cost me much.

    If EDGE Is going to be this ropy, I'd like a free backup account
    to be provided. It's a real pity, because when it's working, it's great.
    Not as much bandwidth as Voda, but way snappier.

    I'm going to set up a GPRS WAP account on the phone and see does
    that get me anywhere as a Secondary and whether it's charged for.
    I got the data service as a backup plan but if I can't rely on it,
    it's not much good for that.

    It's shocking how addictive casual internet on your phone can be!
    I'm a moderator on a number of discussion groups, and having the
    rss feeds notify you of updates right beside your SMS icon is excellent.
