Told them I was on a Mac first up, end up with a second tier support person that I could tell had never seen OSX at all. He asked me to start Safari which is under the Apple logo. I told him that's not what's on my desktop :) Anyway he still had no idea why it was restricted. @nick, interesting.

Seriously tell them you have a Mac and they switch you to the Sydney office and people who do not assume you are an idiot for having to call them. Because "3services" worked that is what I used when I connected my phone later. Gary I was given “3services” when I signed up, I had to talk to their “Mac expert” for some reason.

Thanks very much for the tips Gary, you rock. All that aside I'd like to join you on your soap box there, I pay for the connectivity, what I use it for is my business, and I'm old enough to know what I do and don't want to access. I haven't been blocked to anything yet, but I'm sure that if I was I'd be annoyed). If it was a connection through work or one for free, sure I'd expect to take what I'm given and get over it.

So I figured there will be other people with the same problem. Still question remains why restrict access? @nick These are not the settings out of the box.

However now I see why, those are the settings I have been using in my phone and card modem since I got them, many months ago and never had any problems accessing any sites (except the odd DNS error) with 3.
