3G Problems

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Please can someone help and advise me. I had a contract using a Vodafone Mobile Connect Lite which I used for 2 years. This USB device was not really satisfactory in that I lost connection quite often. Now I have (supposedly) an improved version, Vodafone Mobile Connect. I find this more unreliable than the first. I contacted Vodacom, my ISP, and they told me to download the latest upgrade which I did. However, the installation had a hiccup in that it never got to 'finish'. I waited for ages - at least half an hour- and then rebooted the PC. Well, the PC almost crashed and went to System Restore. Now the 'Usage' is not working properly and has converted from MB to GB! I subsequently uninstalled all and reinstalled, but MB still remains GB. This I can live with as I can get correct figures from my Online Bill.

The REAL problem is that my web access is very limited. Now and then I can use the net, but most often I have 'Windows cannot display the page'. Diagnosis: Windows has found a problem that cannot be fixed automatically. Contact your ISP. (Sometimes: The host may be down, or may not support a secure connection.) I also have problems with emails (WLM). I seem to receive OK but sending is usually a problem.

Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity.

I am considering going back to a restore point before the first download and install of the upgrade. Will this work? I do realise that I have a problem with a poor signal and my ISP is hiding behind the problem download which is why I would like to resolve the issue before confronting them. They have told me that my area is 'well covered' for 3G.

Thanks in anticipation for all your help - JD
