As per title are there any other users of orange mobile bb finding that the stinking pile of shit is unable to serve a complete web page without several refreshes? Or are they just picking on me.

You must have accidentally damaged your setup. Didn't drop it did you?
Seriously, I have just banned any more Orange network phones in this household. I found their web site and arrangements for registering and topping up a PAYG phone rubbish. The Vodafone setup is superior IMO. Now I can have the lad's cast off (if still working!) phones as regularly upgraded spares for car glove boxes and just swap the sims.

Ooooh, that answers a question, I was just about to look at a dongle and wanted one that worked ok with SUSE. Not sure how to set this stuff up, but it can't be that hard!

I'll be off 11.2 till next year. I grabbed 11.1 on day one and entered audio hell :( So 11.2 can wait for when I have little to do between Xmas and New Year.
Thanks to Zymurgy for the link as well. A PAYG one will be top of my list.

FFS these Orange cunts have been trained by BT.
They called me and told me nothing was wrong with the network and it was "probably the PC". All three of them you think? Ah we will call you back. They didn't. Overnight it started working again.
