trouble with virgin.net

Hi,

I'm currently having problems with Virgin dial up, I can open any page (very slowly) but I'm completely unable to open anything that requires sign-in or a secure server, eg hotmail, ebay etc... does anyone know why this might be? I've had trouble with virgin in the past and i'm thinking of switching, but have no idea where to go, i can't get broadband in my area and would prefer to pay monthly and have no call charges (like i am on virgin) any help or hints would be really appreciated..
thanks,
GemB
 
Most ISP's still offer some kind of unmetered/freecall dialup service. I personaly enjoyed Onetel's dialup service for a number of years befor moving to ADSL. It really comes down to what you want or more importantly what your willing to pay for.

Before you do anything drastic I would make sure your own house is in order.
I have been with Virgin for several years, both dial-up and now 512 adsl, and can't fault them!
Try clearing all caches, temp files etc (Tools/Internet options for instance).
While on that page try making it check for new versions of stored pages 'every visit to page' ('Settings').

I hope you find this helps.

;)
