This has been happening for 3 weeks now.......
Sort this out Vodafone..............
Still cant get Wiki, Steam pages etc...etc
You tied me down to a 12 month deal and now you give me half a service because of "proxy server" issues.
Sort it!!!!!

Been like this for weeks!!!

It's pretty bad when it's easier to surf through the VPN tunnel. I'm also signed up for 12 months of this....

What he said...

It is much better than it was earlier today but certain pages are taking a large amount of time to load e.g. Steam, Wikipedia, shortened links to Stuff.co.nz articles from Twitter.

Sadly, I too am signed up for another 8 or so months of Vodafone. Once UFB is officially in my street maybe it will be worth whatever it costs to get out of the contract.

Posting from it perfectly fine from home. Different routes for different regions?

Took a long time.. as for mine, my.yahoo.com still not loading for me...

I seriously am thinking to find a VPN services; Vodafone InHome Cable is virtually useless for me now. And the network status page is a lie! http://networkstatus.telstraclear.co.nz/

Same here, my.yahoo.com is super quick to load but your two make dial-up look like UFB. Geekzone itself has been pretty patchy for me too.
I've been noticing this for quite a while, glad to see I'm not the only one!
