Three web browsing issues

For the last year Three has been great, but recently I have been having problems with web pages not loading. I used to have this problem with Three years ago, I remember quite a few people did, and this was a reason I stopped using them. Hope it’s not back.

Everything else works fine, speed tests are always good, Netflix etc. Just web pages won’t load very often. Any ideas?

(I’m using the ZTE modem and Asus AI mesh wireless network).

Have you checked the adult filter? I had a similar problem until I disabled the filter, and then all was well - but they randomly switch it back on every so often for no apparent reason. My first check would be to see if your account has the "adult content" filter switched on. It seems to break day-to-day browsing in unpredictable ways. Even if you aren't interested in adult content, it's worth disabling unless you have kids using your phone unsupervised.

I used to have an issue where notifications wouldn't come through if on data.... that hasn't occurred for ages. Till about a week ago. I have to keep a VPN alive now to keep notifications coming

Good suggestion, but it’s not changed. Was always on - maybe I’ll try it off.
 
I couldn't live with that!
I couldn't live with the other options. Slow2 and Vodafone are 3G at my house, if not slow 4G (slow2 at kbps and vodafone at 1/2 Mbps - in the loft) and EE doesn't work indoors at home or work. It is what it is 🤷
