Update: is fine on WiFi, but when it switches to mobile data it disconnects and bans me. Am on Smarty.

It is a temporary restriction, not related to the BT/EE issue. Please use your wi-fi instead of mobile data. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Ta. WiFi isn't a problem, apart from in the smoking area at work! Very slightly just out of range... but I'm sure I'll live. Any idea on timescale?

Noted, I'll spread new rumours that you're an upstanding pillar of the community.

Keep it realistic

How long is this restriction on for? I'm having to have conversations with people in real life and I don't like it.

@elwoodbluz1966 So I buggered off for two weeks, tried to get in again today on mobile data and it's still a problem. How long is this restriction again?

Maybe no help to you as I know you ain’t on vodaphone but that’s working again now after weeks of not being so possibly might be fixed soon…I say possibly, I have zero idea lol.

That started with so much promise of the possibility of something being fixed, I was almost excited. Then it left me in the same sad situation as before.

But thank you!

You’re very welcome. Always happy to build someone up to just knock them back down again

I feel suitably flattened again, thank you.

 

[Manvspencil]

Nope, still fucked. Maybe I'll talk to myself.

I don't know an exact date, sorry, but to the best of my knowledge it will end during July.

Will try and stand closer to the work access points in the meantime!
