Three Like Home Question - Page 2

Just a data point -- may not be useful as Three Like Home is going away soon, but it may be useful to whatever replaces it.

To recap: I bought a UK Three data SIM for an upcoming trip to London this summer. I also had a trip planned to Hong Kong (where I am now) and thought it would be nice to use the SIM while there. I bought a couple of GBP 10 top ups online, registered the SIM at my3.three.co.uk, activated the top up and converted it to a "Broadband Light" (1GB) add-on.

Well, I'm now in HK and everything seems to be working. I have an unusual problem in that about every 3rd time I connect I can't use any webmail (gmail, Yahoo) and some websites won't come up. I disconnect and reconnect and it usually works. Sounds like three has a server in farm that is misconfigured or something. Also, when I log on to my3 it doesn't show any data usage. I doubt I'll actually use 1GB in my short stay here, so I am not too worried. Now this is they way things ought to work when traveling!

There's no technical problem at all, but when you can't access webmail there's just no censor available to check what pages you are requesting.
