Re: Javascript disabled when connected to 02uk

The "Always on" setting had me going for a while too. It is not an obvious setting. When the status shows "green" on the first screen you assume it is set "on".
If you link onto the original article it is mentioned there but the direct linked article omitted the extra step.
Can't find a similar tool for Chrome.

Your going to have to use a private proxy or Local proxy for other browsers to avoid the o2 proxy

Internet Explorer 9 seems to work without modification, IPlayer worked first time.

A good work around you guys have there (and having IE 9 does help).
Just keep in mind that you will go through your data allowance much faster and risk going over your limit, with this "fix".... :smileysurprised:

I agree. It all goes fast enough without! Best keep away from video streaming.
Silly thing is even iplayer radio catch-up and several speed testers need the headers fix, which suggests it's more a misunderstanding with the browser rather than an actual physical need.

Video streaming will eat all your allowance within hours...
And it is against the terms and conditions of o2 mobile broadband to stream...

It should not be any of their business what I download (subject to UK law), only how much. The T&C should be challenged.

Re: Javascript disabled when connected to 02uk

I agree...but WE ALL signed the terms and conditions of service by using the o2 service...So, we have to abide by it...like it or lump it...I wouldnt want to use it for streaming anyway, I only get 3G data allowance and that lasts me all month a few music downloads, emails and surfing. If I streamed video, I would use my 3G within hours, and risk a huge bill from o2 for going over my allowance. Hence I choose to stick to the terms and conditions...Method in the madness...lol
ps, people who do stream on 3G, COMPLETELY knacker (use most available bandwidth) and slow down the service speeds for other o2 users in that area...pretty selfish imo :womanindifferent:

Pretty selfish of O2 and Vodafone to increase the price of a GB to PAYG customers by 50% last year.
