O2 broadband firmware upgrade VPN issue

O2 done their firmware upgrade with out telling any of us. which disabled the routers's PPTP VPN pass through compatibility. I'm with out VPN for 3 days I didn't think of it as a routers fault. I wasted lots of time on this same as the IT department.

They said they going to downgrade the firmware tonight not sure when if any one having VPN issue with O2 it's their router
 
lm glad l never chose this ISP when l was choosing my ISP, this niggles campaign they have been running is a bunch of crap.. they tout this unlimited then spring some 100gig cap on you once you hit it a few times asking you to use less... unlimited my arse.
 
To be fair that is only for their BT based Home Access package, which has a history of performance woes, although that does not excuse them. On the other hand at least they recognised the VPN mess and are moving to correct it when many other ISPs might have dithered for longer.

l get what your saying, but regardless its rebranded as O2 so in essense its their problem not ours and if they cant fix it.. regardless of who owns the network its a problem only they can fix by getting it managed better.

They didn't downgrade. I waited no luck, so I downgraded myself using the guides on the internet. Now they manage to upgrade it again :mad:

I have installed my new router works perfectly if any one looking to buy a router which works with be/O2 broadband http://www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/Shop/ShopDetail.asp?ProductID=5918. My SMC apparently no compatible with o2 some chip set issue apparently
