Guest gingerprince Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Has anyone actually contacted T-Mobile about their sh1t slow proxy's? They may not even be aware there is a user issue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Follow this thread: http://www.modaco.com/Performance-problems...33-t244497.html but use the servers 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2! P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Paul (MVP) Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Anyone care to try: 195.221.155.57:3128? Combined with the 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 DNS settings, makes the web faster than it's ever been for me (on GPRS at least). P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Paul (MVP) Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 'Academie d'Amiens - Education Nationale' Basically, a university in Amiens, France - so yeah, good chance of being kicked off. The difference seems really noticeable to me... so maybe I should set up a HTTP proxy? P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Are there any restrictions using this proxy? Other than the fact we probably shouldn't be, no, even directpush etc. seems to work! P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 There's one at Brunel University in the UK too, at 134.83.144.3:80, but I fear as that is going over port 80, it'll still be mangled by T-Mo's system... not sure tho. If anyone fancies trying that one, could be even better? P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest randomelements Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 (edited) As with the earlier proxy are there any restrictions on Direct Push? That's one of the main uses for my phone so losing that just ain't happening... OK - posts crossed :D Thanks Paul.

If anyone fancies trying that one, could be even better? P Well, if this proxy server business is the answer to our current problems, then I for one will certainly stump up for Plus membership for our own proxy to use. Keep digging Paul . . . :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest robt Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Paul Can we not just add the proxy server details to the current connection by editing rather than create a whole new connection, and then edit it again to lose the proxy details if it goes belly up?

Guest Paul (MVP) Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Keep testing and reporting back people! Remember, use the custom DNS + the proxy server above, and let me know what performance boost you see (if any of course). P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, for some bizarre reason the default connection doesn't allow you to add a proxy. :D At least not on my device! :D P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest robt Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Ok. My connection is flying at the moment using the French proxy, and direct push also working fine. About time we got some help from the French for a change :D Any French mods out there feel free to delete this and kick my butt :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its always going to be better than anything Tmob are likely to offer. (Would have to work with Direct Push of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Syphon Filter Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 - Click the 'Proxy Settings' Tab - Click 'This network connects to the internet' - Click 'This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet' - Click Advanced HERE YOU NEED TO ENTER THE PROXY DETAILS For test details, i'm using the PlanetLabs proxy with IP 194.80.38.242 on port 3128. It's only suitable for test however, and might not give a true respresentation of speed improvements with a better proxy. Running one on a home or hosted machine would be one option. - After entering the details, click 'OK'. - Ensure that in the top drop down box your new network is selected. - Disconnect your existing connection - Try browsing! You should get the PlanetLabs welcome page first, then you should be able to browse. Paul, Do you enter this into the HTTP proxy bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stuart_f Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Any non-Plus members that would sign up to Plus for a dedicated UK based proxy? P I probably would but I'm waiting to see if the new Vodafone plans on 1 Sept have a decent data bundle before I buy my v1605. I'd have taken the plunge long ago if only T-Mobie had any coverage in northern Scotland. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
