I contacted 3 support, who told me there was nothing they could do, and would consider revising their advertising materials (my contention was that filtered, port-80-only access which used a _third party_ who I had no agreement with to proxy my traffic is a poor substitute for the Internet access they claimed to offer).<BR/><BR/>I haven't checked if they've changed their services since, but at the time, though, I couldn't run applets like Opera Mini because of their limitations.Mohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05086174607811617514noreply@blogger.com
